      I agree on the first two, but the "progressive" amendments of the early 20th century caused the 3d. Then FDR was 4th and LBJ was 5th

      If you think the amendments matter you're missing the point. FDR introduced a new structure that is totally beyond electoral politics and is still around The constitution doesn't get amended to reflect this because the Constitution (the document) isn't the constitution

      the senate before direct election served as a check on federal power and the implementation of income tax and prohibition massively increased federal power. these were massive mistakes from which freedom never recovered FDR's soft coup couldn't have been done without them either.

      The senate before direction election wasn't supposed to be a check on federal power - it was supposed to be a body where co-sovereigns negotiated on equal terms - the Senate was dead from Lincoln's time Income tax is the same thing

      Income tax is just the fedgov taxing its subjects as it always has - it used to have the States as its subjects but those got eliminated in the Civil War Fiat money was an actual change by FDR that mattered - fedgov now owns everything that can be bought with dollars

      income tax was a big change to the old system of tariffs and excise taxes because it made federal revenue both much more predictable and much larger. Longterm federal financial commitments require those factors

      Preceding the income tax the feds could tax imports and the states because those were in their agreed-upon sphere Post Civil War fedgov's agreed-upon sphere was that it was the government of all the citizens of the country. It's inevitable that tax power is part of that

      BUT with fiat money the only reason fedgov even needs to charge taxes is to give citizens a reason to conduct business in dollars (need dollars to pay taxes in dollars)

          Yep, there are all sorts of benefits to having leverage on potential rivals but the biggest one is to ensure that the thing they can print at will has value - USG can buy literally anything it wants as long as the seller accepts dollars USG owns the means of production
