The First Amendment begins with "Congress shall make no law," yet today we routinely see its protections and others in the Bill of Rights applied not only to acts of Congress but also state laws. In this lecture, Dr. Lindsay Robertson explains how the Bill of Rights has been gradually incorporated to extend its protections to individuals against state governments.

Using the due process clause to defend incorporation is an impossible argument. The speaker here, didn't even address why the deprivation of liberty was found to be beyond due process. According to New York's criminal anarchy law, in all likelihood this was indeed done by due process of New York state law.

what about the supremacy clause??? doesn't that incorporate the bill of rights and the Constitution into every state, being that it is the supreme law of the land??? then, the 9th, being for the rights of the people??? and finally the 10th for the states rights??? #1 is the people's rights come first, being that they are inalienable and inherent, no form of government can violate them... and only by the consent of the governed can they do anything... no authority without the allowance by The People... #2 is the Constitution and Bill of Rights is to restrict the forms of governments from encroaching on the rights of the people.. and to regulate interstate commerce, and international commerce and treaties... #3 is the states rights to govern commerce within the states, and settle disputes within the states... not to regulate the lives of the people, but to assure everyone equal protection of rights and property for rich and poor alike...

Yes, I think the speaker ignores the supremacy clause. The Bill of Rights have always applied to "the people." He is right that the Supreme Court has treated the Constitution like it is a flexible document, but he fails to mention that the Supreme Court's flexibility was not in line with the meaning of the Constitution and has led to some very bad decisions.

The federal Bill of Rights was written with the explicit understanding that it would not apply to the States. James Madison proposed an amendment to incorporate parts of the Bill of Rights and it was outright rejected by Congress. Thomas Jefferson explained in 1804 that the Bill of Rights did not apply to the States, nearly 30 years before the Supreme Court made its ruling (September 11 letter to Abigail Adams). The preamble to the Bill of Rights also makes it abundantly clear - its purpose was merely to "prevent misconstruction or abuse" of the federal government's powers, not the States'. In another sense, the entirety of the Bill of Rights can be summed up by the 10th Amendment. The central government has no powers except those which are delegated. All other powers are left exclusively to the States. Is there a delegated power to restrict free speech, establish religion, or infringe the right to bear arms? No. The first and second amendments are simply a list of some of the powers which are definitely *not* delegated to the federal government. Each State already had its own Bill of Rights. So why would it make sense to make yet another one? It's because the *federal* government didn't have one.

Barron v. Baltimore simply affirmed the universal understanding of the framers that the Bill of Rights didn't apply to the States. Thomas Jefferson explained to Abigail Adams in a letter from September 11, 1804, that the Bill of Rights applied only to the federal government and not to the States.

To control commerce of legal entities in the corporate states. This is by regulation and taxation. Only the people born in the constitutional state have the right to be free (under no legal restraint) if they choose to understand what is going on a secure this status. Right now the corporate governments are bringing in communism through their public policy.

Ok so I recently learned why a federal reserve dollar bill doesn’t equal a silver dollar… So I only have a high school education… And if I have learned this then obviously a lot of people must of already known this. Up to and including the people that get their paychecks from the working class.. And yet do nothing about this. In the Bible it talks about eating the flesh of your children.. And this is what it is talking about… And we live in such a corrupt world. That God does not bless a country with unrighteousness.. Funny how the people with money think they don’t need God.. They think they can rewrite history to suit their needs… But if you understand the Bible you understand WTF is going on..

Okay. Originally the Bill of Rights only applied to the federal government and not the States. This was upheld unanimously by Barron v. Baltimore (1833). Then in 1925 the Supreme Court used a vague phrase in the 14th Amendment to rule that parts of the Bill of Rights now apply to the States.
