How has categorical grants increase the power of the federal government?
Another example of federal government taking states power would be the new ways of controlling the states spending, the government now gave out categorical grants from which it could control how the states spent this money. For some states the government was giving out over $200 billion dollars from which 90% of this would be categorical grants and the federal government would regulate how it was spent. The states therefore were restricted on what they could spend the money on and this further showed an increase in federal government's power.

In what ways does the US Constitution strengthen the central government?
The constitution strengthened the central government in several ways. For one, the supreme law of the land allocated which powers were specific to the government and the states.

Does the federal government have the right to tell states how to spend federal funding?
Yes: under the Spending Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the federal government may condition a state's receipt of federal funds on the state's commitment to spend that money in ways consistent with federal policy. But the Tenth Amendment generally prohibits the federal government from commandeering state resources by forcing a state to participate in any federal program.

Why is necessary for each state to have its own government?
Like many people, I think you have it backwards. This country was formed of states . . . individual states that made their own laws for their own residents. But right at the first, it was realized that the states needed a sort of over-all entity that would raise an army to protect all the states, an arbiter to deal with trade and commerce between and among the states. This over-all entity was called the Federal Government, and the states gave the Federal Government only narrow responsibilities. Now, we citizens have allowed the Federal Government to take enormous powers that are supposed to belong to the states. For example, the dept of Education is no way a power given the Federal government . . each state is meant to make education decisions based upon the ways of life of their own citizens. Right now, the Federal Government says it can do anything it wants to, and neither we nor the state governments can do a darn thing about it. Thank-you to the Tea Party movement for understanding this, and demanding that the Federal Government back off.
