In the period between the War of Independence and the Civil War, the federal government spent most of its time in the constitutional prison that James Madison designed for it. Because of the 9th and 10th Amendments, governors of states were more important and powerful than the US President. This ended with the Civil War and was exacerbated by the New Deal and the Imperial Presidency.

If we return to full constitutional federalism, governors will regain the power they lost.

DeSantis has evidently been shown that path you discuss, and forging the example to prove it for other governors.

DeSantis suspended the Florida Attorney General, yesterday.
