>>The Bill of Rights was never meant to apply to the states. I’ve said it many times, incorporation has done more to destroy federalism that the Commerce Clause can ever hope to. I don’t want any of the Bill of Rights incorporated.<<
If these are fundamental rights, endowed to man by our creator why would the states be allowed to violate them?
An inalienable right is endowed to man by our creator and those rights may not be violated without individual due process.
Fundamental rights, on the other hand, may or may not be protected in a constitution by government (society), depending on the will of the majority of the people. The Founders were creating a federated republic -- they wanted each state to be free to set up their own constitution and their own Bills of Rights.
