Four part spending power test from South Dakota v.
Dole at pp. 162-63:
(1) the exercise of the spending power must
be in pursuit of the general welfare (courts generally defer to
Congress in defining general welfare);
(2) the condition needs to be
unambiguously stated so that the states can make a knowing choice;
(3)
there needs to exist some relationship between the purpose for which
the federal funds are being spent and the condition the states must
comply with in order to receive those funds; and
(4) the condition may not induce the states to engage in activities
that would themselves be unconstitutional under other provisions of the
Constitution and, therefore, be independently barred.
The Court also suggests a fifth requirement: that the financial
inducement offered by Congress may not be so coercive that it no longer
amounts to just pressure to accept the funding, but amounts to
compulsion so that the states no longer have a real choice to reject
the federal funds.
