My favorite example is Article IV, section 4, which guarantees to states
the
right of republican government.
Under my reading, "republican" means representative democratic
government. Under this interpretation, federal administrative law is
illegal!
It makes sense too. If we can't vote the lawmakers out of office, it's a
tyranny.
So, federal regulations are illegal if they coerce states (and possibly
state citizens) without formal representation of the populace as a whole.
This means EPA regulations, IRS regulations, FDA regulations, etc.
