Uh, that's the 13th Amendment, not the Bill of Rights.
Read a book.
OK. Let me re-state that for those who can't figure it out, does the Federal Constitution, and the Amendments made to it, apply restrictions to the actions of the States? If it does, then the prohibitions placed on the Federal government concerning our Rights applies to the States as well. If not, then any State could re-institute slavery.
Is that better? Or do I need to break it down in to even smaller words for you Roscoe? I know your comprehension is a little iffy at times.
