:::I would disagree with your "government regulation is as American as apple pie" phrase. There really was no government regulation in the economy until the late 19th century (when American was about 110-120 years old), and even after it appeared, it remained quite light until the Great Depression period. You are right about how much people disagree about the Commerce Clause. I believe it has been perverted beyond recognition since the Great Depression, and if judges interpreted it the right way, much federal regulations would be ruled unconstitutional. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 23:40, 24 April 2017 (EDT)

::::Sorry, I meant the ''concept'' of government regulation is as American as apple pie. There is no doubt that current government regulation, and government operations in general (size of the tax code, complexity of the budget, complexity of laws in general, number of lawyers, etc.) is vastly more than in the early days of the nation. In fact, society in general is vastly more complex. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 11:05, 28 April 2017 (EDT)
:::And by the way, I made a small change to the article, and other than that, there are no problems that I notice with it. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 23:41, 24 April 2017 (EDT)
