FDR's New Deal was a major shift towards empowering the federal government above the states. It was a clear violation of the 10th Amendment, but passed because of a "crisis" at the time.
So I would say every time we let our leaders get away with violating the Constitution because of a crisis, we have seen more and more illegitimacy from the government.
