There are many, many reasons that can be cited for this loss, however there have been certain events at the federal level that accelerated this process. I will cite, in my mind, The top influences…

The civil war. Which made it absolutely clear that individual nations may NOT sever their ties with the United States. It is a loss of the 10th amendment, and the destruction of state autonomy.
16th amendment – taxation. Which also totally eliminated the 4th amendment protections. It put the control of the monetary supply into the hands of PRIVATE individuals who did NOT answer to the people. These individuals raped our economy and decimated the value of the dollar to today where one dollar is actually worth less than one cent. 1909.
17th amendment – democratic election of Senators. Which fundamentally changed the nature of a Republic to more of a Democracy. Now the Senate behaves much differently than it was intended to, and it’s role is substantially different as well. 1912.
19th amendment – provided women the right to vote. Which also then immediately changed the demographics of the electorate. Fundamentally, women uniformly look towards safety and security. While men prefer labor and justice. This change opened up and paved the way for the welfare state that exists today.

The problem is that, for a man, living in safety is not enough. We have to live a life of freedom. It’s a manly thing that most women cannot understand. They want a safe, nurturing environment. They want to “nest” with “nesting behaviors“.

I think you do a disservice here to the many American patriots who happen to be women. Generalizations about the sexes is neither just nor accurate. Woman in the early days of our Country fought in disguise, binding their breasts to make America free. Women served the cause of Freedom in many ways. Sarah Palin would not thank you for your words, nor would Margaret Thatcher who turned back the tide of the welfare nation, for a time, in the UK.
