You didn’t need a license to do, well, anything. There were no “employment” laws that had to be followed, no environmental impact studies, no affirmative action quotas, building permits, zoning laws, entitlement programs, insurance, etc. at the federal level, education, food safety, medicine, and to a large extent even manufacturing and agricultural were completely unregulated, and the federal government was only minimally involved in building infrastructure.
This is solid analysis. While there were a handful of things the Feds may have been doing around the edges, they were too small and remote for most folks to have any impact, particularly outside things like the (extraordinarily small by today's standards) military, USPS, Customs, Federal Courts - but statistically zero compared to today's Federal leviathan.
All of that was 20th Century expansion by Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, etc.
