The federal government cannot command the states to adopt federal policy — but it can make billions of dollars in grants conditional on states doing exactly what the federal government wants. The Spending Clause is the constitutional foundation for this arrangement, and the conditions attached to federal grants have become one of the most consequential areas of constitutional law as federal funding has expanded to penetrate every dimension of state government.
The Constitutional Spending Clause Warrior: The Complete Guide to South Dakota v. Dole, the NFIB Coercion Doctrine, Federal Grant Conditions, Title IX and Title VI as Spending Conditions, and the Complete Spending Clause Litigation Toolkit is Volume LXII of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series — the complete practitioner's guide to Spending Clause doctrine.
Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full Spending Clause landscape: South Dakota v. Dole's four-condition test — the general welfare requirement, the unambiguous statement of conditions, the germaneness requirement, and the prohibition on unconstitutional conditions; NFIB v. Sebelius's application of the coercion doctrine to strike down the Medicaid expansion mandate as unconstitutionally coercive; Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and Alexander v. Sandoval's elimination of private disparate impact claims; Title IX and the Davis v. Monroe County deliberate indifference standard; RFRA and Hobby Lobby as Spending Clause-based defenses; and the sanctuary city spending conditions litigation under City of Chicago v. Barr and related cases.
For attorneys who challenge federal grant conditions as coercive, advise state and local governments navigating federal funding, or represent universities and schools subject to Title IX and Title VI, this is the essential complete reference.
