I am removing this quote from the article:

This expansion of power to the states began after the United States Civil War with the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling, and continued with rulings such as Miranda v. Arizona.

Plessy, however wrong it was, didn't expand state power; it restricted new postbellum federal powers and was pretty much gutted by 1954. I don't know how anyone can claim that Miranda expanded state power (in contrast to federal power): It created a federal remedy for defendants against state investigations. That's kind of the opposite of expanding power.
