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 .
