Barron v Baltimore held that the BoR did NOT apply to the states. It would have never been ratified if it had since the States had established religions and other violations of the BoR. Southern states prevented the spread of anti-slavery newspapers, books and magazines by seizing them from the mail, closing down presses, etc. Only after the 14th amendment was the BoR applicable to the states.

Barron V Baltimore was wrong. Your insistance on its correctness in no way changes this. As has been proven to you time and again over the years.

Only after the 14th amendment was some of the BoR applicable to the states.

"Since the early 60's, almost every clause in the Bill of Rights has been incorporated (notable exceptions are the 2nd and 3rd Amendments, the Grand Jury indictment clause of the 5th Amendment, and the 7th Amendment)."
