The fundamental change needed is the desire of the state to subdue the citizenry transformed to the desire to please the citizenry. This will only happen if the citizenry become more powerful than the state, and the state becomes once more a vehicle or tool of the citizenry to accomplish a good the citizens individually cannot, such as establishing standardization (minimal, not non-existent, red tape), enforcing law (which laws ought to benefit society at large rather than hinder), and organizing and enabling the citizens to protect themselves (aka militia).
