Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Unfunded mandates are requirements imposed by the federal government on states and localities without providing any funding to implement them. This limits the ability of states and localities to set their own priorities and can strain their budgets. Therefore, people who want to give states and localities the ability to set their own priorities would be opposed to unfunded mandates.
