Nearly every (Unconstitutional)problem of contemporary America- from the IRS, to the centralized Police force known as the FBI, to the odd public/private Central bank known as the Federal Reserve,to the direct election of Senators, to interventionist "entangling foreign alliances" had their genesis in the Wilson Administration.
The 20th Century was truly the Wilsonian Century. FDR may have built Socialist America, but Woodrow Wilson was the architect with the original blueprints.
There should be a separate Woodrow Wilson section on Free Republic so people can learn how badly the Constitution was gutted during his tenure.

I think down road, historians will graft william jefferson clinton onto that tree, and maybe carter, making the wilson-FDR-clinton evolution obvious. The arming of China historically fits this pattern of support for World Socialism.
