Civil rights would perhaps be a slightly better example simply because what was being fought against were largely government creations (e.g., legally compulsory discrimination).

And the "solution" was to exchange these for other government creations, like the EEOC. Which on net resulted in a massive expansion of the effective scope of government power (not least because many of the previous government creations were at the state level, but what we have now is mostly federal).
