the BoR were inalienable rights held by the people that could not be denied or infringed upon, fed or state. The ONLY reason that the constitution was found to be applicable to the feds was the result of the 14th amendment and the subsequent harrasment of newly freedmen(former slaves) by KKK groups in the south and their inevitable prosecution by the federal government. A bigoted majority on the USSC decided Cruikshank and thus began the highly controversial 'incorporation' of the BoR via a power grabbing judiciary.
