Off hand .. I can't think of any example of something that the majority actually seriously wants and pushes for as a high priority ... that the government has ever successfully been able to 'squash'... Please give me one of the 100s of examples you were thinking of ??? ... Off hand I think of examples of the exact opposite .. prohibition being an easy one.
How about POPA/PIPA, Net Neutrality or anything else that threatens Internet?

And prohibition isn't a closed book yet, but it's worth noting that it was an easier issue to deal with when it was written into and then back out of The Constitution.

The USofA started out as a Union.
