That the Fourteenth Amendment gave equal protection to corporations goes unmentioned, yet is that which made the Federal government a place for ‘one stop shopping’ and accelerated the concentrated wealth Roosevelts cites.
Further, he misses the equivalent to the Fourteenth in Madison’s original (and rejected) submission for the BOR as an example of the engine of progressivism: the power to enforce equal protection against the States.
So while the author makes a decent case for the catastrophe of progressivism, he misses its nascence. It was always there.
“the power to enforce equal protection against the States.”
Please explain and provide example(s).
