I would say the problem really started after Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company (1886) when a corporation would be considered a person giving them the same constitutional rights as you and me (1st and 14th ammendments in particular). In addition the gradual weakening of the interstate commerce clause since the early 20th century has allowed to federal government to become the bloated overpowered bureaucracy that we see today.
The distortion of the Commerce Clause has been a very real and distinct problem . It is the Federal income tax that has led to the bloated Federal government we have today . The Founders would not believe the people would EVER pass such an Amendment .
IMHO, it was when the court - reformed itself - under the threat of the court packing plan, and then the new deal legislation / regulation was approved by the court. But even the reformed court, several years latter, so the folly of the new deal price controls, and even that liberal court started stricking down some of the legislation, the sick chicken case, etc. And also the passage of the 17th amendment - direct election of the Senate - made the issues worse - and as an indirect results lead to the creation of the unfunded mandates from the feds (a massive power grab). Marbury was correctly decided.
