Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The United States Constitution establishes the minimum standard of constitutional rights that must be upheld by all laws and government agencies at the federal level, as well as by state laws and agencies through the Fourteenth Amendment's incorporation of certain provisions of the Bill of Rights. State constitutions can potentially provide additional rights beyond those guaranteed by the federal Constitution, but they cannot provide fewer. Federal criminal statutes and judiciaries both play roles in enforcing constitutional rights, but they do not establish the minimum standard.
