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 embraced devolution to shift authority and responsibility from the federal government to states, promoting state flexibility and reducing federal control. The reform of AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) led to the creation of TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), which placed a greater emphasis on work requirements, time limits, and state flexibility in welfare programs, resulting in a decrease in welfare caseloads and an increase in employment rates among welfare recipients.

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.
