      That’s an easy one.

      It means “disassemble all checks and balances, strip the people of all power and authority, and concentrate the power and authority into the hands of a chosen party-aligned dictator or oligarchy.”

      Small government doesn’t get any smaller than a totalitarian dictatorship.

      Sorta, the valid but shitty argument is that it was an interstate trade dispute the South was mad at the federal government about.
