The administrative state is not a new monster- in fact, it became what is around the FDR timeframe, and evolved into the APA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_Procedure_Act_%28United_States%29)

Basically, congress abdicated its responsibilities to legislate and oversee to agencies which became experts and congress assumed and accepted whatever those agencies say as valid. Agencies are partisan entities as we have seen. Congress is duped by almost all agencies as they trundle along advocating for their pet hegemonies and philosophies ( humanist in most cases).

It is the feeling of many political scientists that the majority of federal regulations ought to be the purview of the states, not the fedgov.

You are correct. The 10th amendment died under Abe Lincoln's watch.

The 4th amendment died in 1913, when the 16th amendment was passed. That is why a multi-billion center was constructed for the government to collect the "records" and personal "papers" of all Americans. There are zero 4th amendment protections.

No. Different issues; taxation and chattel slavery are not at issue.

This is about moving the country into a total socialist regime in which, under the one party system, both the deep state and Democrats would thrive ...
