One of the principles that many Republicans believe in is that government should have limited power. In places where the government has more power, there are often dictators, and very little freedom for the people.

Why did the GOP in Congress embrace the idea of devolution and what was the effect of the reform of AFDC?
The GOP, being of course the Grand Old Party, AKA the Republicans, in congress supported the idea of devolution because the idea of a smaller, less powerful central government is at the base of Republican ideals. The affects of this on the reform of the AFDC, or Aid to Families with Dependent Children, was the second order devolution, which was a flow of responsibility from state to local governments, which led to the third order devolution, which increased the role of non-profit organizations and private groups in policy implementation.

What are GOP policies?
If the GOP stand for Grand old party and refers to the Republican party, then I would say GOP Politics are keeping the Rich, rich and keeping the poor, poor. ============= GOP, in general, likes to have smaller government, but it does favor larger defense department. However, when asked which government spending specifically to cut, it's often difficult to get a clear answer from GOP candidates. Medicare and Social Security are the 2 of the many large government spending ( and getting more expensive) that were started by Democrats, but no GOP in their right mind would suggest cutting those. GOP also favors lower tax for all, but especially corporations. The goal is to have successful corporations passing wealth down the chain to their workers. Of course, this more often lead to very wealthy upper leaderships in the corporations. The GOP tends to be conservative on social issues like gay marriage or abortions, but very liberal on guns ownerships.
