Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The precedent established by Barron v. Baltimore, which limited the application of the Bill of Rights to the federal government and not to the states, remained in place even after the Fourteenth Amendment was passed in 1868. It wasn't until the 20th century, through a process of selective incorporation, that many of the provisions of the Bill of Rights were applied to the states.
