Barron v. Baltimore dealt specifically with the issue of whether the 5th Amendment of the Constitution restricted the powers of state governments as well as the federal government. The Supreme Court ruled that it did not, and that the Bill of Rights only applied to the federal government. This decision limited the 5th Amendment's power to protect individual rights against state governments, paving the way for a later interpretation of the 14th Amendment that extended the Bill of Rights to the states.
