The Constitution of the USA was meant/intended to be a document that would constrain Guv'mint rather than empower such. The Constitution is meant to provide for a guv'mint of the Least Powers and Abilities needed to function while limited in the scope to infringe upon personal Liberties.
The goal of our Founders was not a "More and Powerful Government" but a restrained and Limited Government.
Actions that meet and address these concepts are the function of (USA) national patriotism.
Actions that seek to expand and grow the power of Central(Federal) Government are anti-patriotic and anti-Principle.
You want a more powerful Guv'mint that controls your every life aspect, go to another nation on this planet, there are many to chose from.
You want to live where Guv'mint is limited and constrained in controlling your Life, understand that is what the USA set out to be and what most of "us" here are trying to maintain and continue.
"That Government is best which governs least."
