I would say the change dates to Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Each of these men did not care about the limits of Presidential power. Both Roosevelt's thought the Constitution was just a guideline.
If you think GWB abused power, then the things FDR did would shock you. Other than trying to pack the Supreme Court, he violated the rights of many of his "enemies" in various ways only a government can get away with.
If the courts had ruled another way when these people were in power, the USA could be a much better place. Heck, Nixon had price controls (voted to him by a Democratic Congress). GWB is vilified far more than he deserves compared to other Presidents.
Taren, in her remarks at the service, said that Aaron believed that "the way to change something is to first understand it." Lessig also noted that Aaron had probably read more books than anyone in the room.
