So you are saying now that the 2d and all other amendments only apply to people under oath to the federal government. What they really meant by "the people" was only those in the federal government. Does that mean employees of the federal gov. or people elected to the federal gov.? What exactly do you mean by it only applies to the federal government?
So a resident of a state who worked for or was elected to federal office then that person was no longer under the jurisdiction of the state of which he was a resident?
I really don't understand how you can be so convoluted in your thinking. The federal government applied to all the states limited by the constitution and BOR as stated in the tenth amendment.

It means that Congress cannot write a law infringing on freedom of speech, or the RKBA, or quarter soldiers in your house, or search you without a warrant, etc. States could do this. But the feds couldn't.

That all changed later. Read the link I gave you.
