Deep State/Swamp/whatever you want to call it was created in 1788 (John Adams Admin went almost went full totalitarian mode, hell even the Whiskey Rebellion made freedom loving people weep). Heck, I can make an argument Judicial review for and against via Article III’s obscurities and subjectivities. Constitution is extremely ambiguous which is why the document has been easily compromised. Enumeration is very weak for a reason because those who ratified the Constitution were just as divided as we are today.

The Constitution is always superior to the political expediency class.

I realized the Deep State/Crony Capitalism went back as far as Lincoln, and others have told me it went back to Andrew Jackson, but I can see some merit in the claim that it went as far back as Adams.

And yes, the meaning of the US constitution has been greatly bastardized from what the States agreed to when they ratified it.
