The question is perhaps too general, suggesting a definitive point in time in American history in which "federal power increased"--a point of demarcation perhaps exceedingly difficult to discern.

Probably the time in American politico-legal history during which federal power was seen to be most consolidated was Reconstruction, the period immediately after--and some definitions include--the Civil War.

But in American federalism ("our federalism") the dialectic has always been polarized with the States' Rights movement.
