  1. The Civil War
  2. The New Deal
  3. McCulloch v. Maryland
  4. The Civil Rights Movement
  5. The Reagan administration
Explanation
Answer: E- When Ronald Reagan became president, he sought to roll back much of the power the federal government accumulated and give it back to the states. Much of this was done through the federal government giving grants, or chunks of money, with the intent of having the states administer governmental programs. These changes were upheld by several Supreme Court cases in the 1990s.
