quote:
The Federal govern,ment has increased the rights of individuals by erroding the rights of states to oppress people in their own bounderies. The 14th ammendment has done more for individual freedoms than the first 10, because it was only with the 14th that the first ten became universal and not submit to the whim of state legislators. |
Not quite - before the amendment is applied against the state governments, it first has to be "incorporated". For example, free speech could still be violated by the states until the 1920 Gitlow vs. New York decision (IIRC).
