Hamilton created the first financial policies with the intention that they would fund the national debt. He had hoped to accomplish a stronger federal government by having federal government assume the debts incurred by the nation and the states.
The federal government can't make the states change their laws, but they use grants as incentive for the states to make the states laws what the federal government wants. They offer grants for the roads for states to change the speed limit on highways to 65 mph.
The intention of Hamilton's initial financial policies was for the federal government to assume the debts the states owed, and fund the national debt. Alexander Hamilton severed as the 1st United States Secretary of the Treasury.

federal grants not only supply funds,but, by stipulating how the grants are to be used, also influence the states in a number of ways.

Finally, grants set certain minimum standards in the states. for example, the federal government provides a minimum public welfare program.

Their popularity is waning among the judiciary, but the legislature and executive branch are still pretty beholden to them, as is evidenced by the fact that cigarettes, although a known poison, are still legal in the United States.
The power-sharing between a central government and those of the individual states is a federal government.
