When the right’s view of the Con­sti­tu­tion was as­cen­dant 75 years ago, ba­sic pro­tec­tions such as a re­stric­tion on child la­bor were de­clared un­con­sti­tu­tion­al; laws ban­ning dis­crim­i­na­tion were un­think­able; and So­cial Se­cu­ri­ty was wide­ly viewed as next in line for the Supreme Court’s chop­ping block.
