As a result of Supreme Court rulings during the Progressive era, much of the Progressives' agency was shot down due to rulings that tended to favor the liberty of the states over the liberty of individuals, such as women and African Americans.
Answer:
It is very doubtful the same solution could have worked.
Explanation:
The United States was born as a federation of the 13 former British colonies, which, after years of debate, finally settled for a federal pact, creating a central government and states that had considerable power over their territories, as a means of balancing the power between states and the federal government. But in the end, regional identities aside, all states saw themselves as American states and the federal government as an American institution. However, in Great Britain, history had been different. The US has states, but the United Kingdom has nations. Many people from these nations of the British Islands, especially from Scotland and Ireland, saw the English as invaders, and the British government as an institution that represented the will and the interests of the English. A common British identity never fully developed in the same sense as the American one, and the same solution probably couldn't have worked in both countries. Eventually some powers were devolved to national legislatures in the United Kingdom, but legally, they're still subordinated to the British central government.

One could make the argument for any one of the aforementioned events. However, I would have to argue that the Louisiana Purchase was the most significant for a few different reasons:
1) Jefferson used the concept of implied powers in order to buy this land from France. Nowhere in the US Constitution does it say that presidents can buy land from foreign countries. However, Jefferson argues that this power can be implied. Due to Jefferson's actions, several presidents after him will follow suit and buy territories from other countries.
2) It doubled the size of the United States.
3) It initiated the US's policy of Manifest Destiny. This concept that America should control all land from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean was one that was introduced in the early 19th century. The first big land annexation of this time was the Louisiana territory (1803). After this purchase, the US would continue to grow in size thanks to buying land from other countries and war.
The Roman Republic (509 BC - 27 BC) was the era of classical Roman civilization which began with the overthrown of the Roman Kingdom and ended with the establishment of the Roman Empire. Phrases that accurately describe this period of time are:
1. "Loss of territory and power in the Punic Wars"
2."Duty and loyalty valued more than personal wealth"
3. "Two representative Assemblies and one powerful Senate"
