It was probably WWI that was the primary cause of the growth of the federal bureaucracy.
If we'd simply backed up Germany we'd have avoided the downstream costs of WWII as well as the Cold War.
Mistakes were made eh!

Because Senators were originally elected by their state legislatures, they had to be attendant to the wishes of the individual states and could not, as now under the 17th Amendment, respond primarily to pressure from national political parties to conform to the dictates of special interest groups such as public employees labor unions or green fanatics.--
--a lot of folks didn't approve of their senator being elected by the railroads either , thus the 17th amendment-----

The notion of the Supreme Court as sole defender of the Constitution is only a recent phenomena.
The President and members of Congress swear to support and defend the Constitution. When they pass unconstitutional legislation we have only ourselves to blame for electing the dirtbags.
