The Supreme Court has gained a tremendous amount of power since the states first approved of the rights and limitations set forth for it in Article III during the Constitutional ratification process. Some of this accumulated power, such as the ability to analyze the constitutionality of Congressional legislation, appears to be justifiable in most cases.

President Woodrow Wilson narrowly won his re-election bid with the slogan; He kept us out of war, in November of 1916. Yet by April of 1917, America was entering the European war.
