When a higher level of the U.S. government (i.e. the federal government) tells lower branches of the government (i.e. state governments) to do something, that's a mandate. If the federal government give the states money to help them do whatever they want them to do, that's a funded mandate. If they don't, if they just expect the states to do it on their own, that's an unfunded mandate. So when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, the federal government told the state governments they had to make all their office buildings handicap-accessible. They did give the states some money for the construction (although some say not enough), so that was a funded mandate.
The Federal Reserve (Fed) establishes monetary policy primarily through the manipulation of interest rates and the money supply to achieve its dual mandate: promoting maximum employment and stable prices. By adjusting the federal funds rate, the Fed influences borrowing costs, which in turn affects consumer spending and business investment. Additionally, the Fed employs tools such as open market operations and reserve requirements to manage liquidity in the economy. These actions aim to maintain economic stability and control inflation.
Controlling the rate of growth of money is crucial for the Federal Reserve because it directly influences inflation and economic stability. By managing the money supply, the Fed aims to maintain price stability and promote maximum employment, which are key components of its dual mandate. If the money supply grows too quickly, it can lead to inflation, eroding purchasing power and creating uncertainty in the economy. Conversely, too slow a growth rate can stifle economic activity and lead to recession.
The Federal Reserve decides to increase or decrease interest rates primarily based on its dual mandate to promote maximum employment and stable prices. It closely monitors economic indicators such as inflation rates, unemployment figures, and overall economic growth. If inflation is rising above target levels or the economy is overheating, the Fed may raise interest rates to cool down spending. Conversely, if the economy is sluggish and unemployment is high, it may lower rates to encourage borrowing and investment.
If you mean federal reserve banks, it is an international organization created at Bretton Woods, New Jersey in 1945 for regulating the international peg system and the LLB (lower level banks). The International Federal Reserve (IFR) answers to the United Nations that holds the bankruptcy note on the international community under the Federal Reserve Note (FRN), the international bank trading peg. All monies that go into the bank trades are converted from country currency, i.e. Euros, Pounds Sterling, Dinar, etc., into FRN's for trading. Not only for orderly processing exists, the fact of maintaining the international bankruptcy remains paramount. No credit monies exist in the world today, not since 1930. Therefore, the IFR's responsibility is to regulate the bankruptcy until solvency is achieved.
A federal mandate can be issued by the federal government, typically through legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by the President. Additionally, federal agencies can create mandates through regulations that have the force of law, often based on authority granted by Congress. These mandates can require states or local governments to comply with certain standards or actions in order to receive federal funding or to adhere to federal laws.
A MANDATE.

A federal mandate
When a federal law requires a lower government to meet a particular obligation, this is referred to as a federal mandate. The Americans with Disabilities Act is an example of a federal mandate.
Kinda, but not really. The federal government does not have the power to mandate states to adopt setbelt laws. However the federal government does seem to have the power to threaten cutting off federal transportation money to states which refuse to.

(This answer is the right one) Without a mandate, Kennedy had difficulty pushing his more controversial measures through Congress.
Article 1 of the Constitution mandates the development of the U.S. Congress.
