https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_College_v._Woodward comes to mind. It was a landmark case that effectively resulted in the rise of the American business corporation and the American free enterprise system.

I don't think anybody is disputing that regulation is allowed and useful, but we should also be questioning all regulation to ensure that the government isn't overreaching.
