incorrect!
the federal government in making many Enabling laws have recognized the principles of the DOI, the last time was 1959.
the federal government was created by the states, and they delegated the federal government to only powers which are enumerated in the constitution, the 10th amendment supports that and defines federalism.
the central government under the AOC had very little power to solve problems among the states, the constitution granted them more powers to solve those problems, but those powers were limited, they never had powers to get back
Just to keep things in perspective, with the Patriot Act the government usurped the power to nullify the Fourth Amendment, FYI.
With the several NDAA amendments, the government has usurped the power to nullify Habeas Corpus and falsely prop up the specious notion of the Unitary Executive.
