Detailed explanation-1: -In Barron v. Baltimore (1833), the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution’s Bill of Rights restricts only the powers of the federal government and not those of the state governments.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Barron decision effectively prevented many state cases from making their way to the federal courts. It also left the states free to disregard the Bill of Rights in their relationships with their citizens, who were left to rely instead on state laws and constitutions for protection of their rights.
Detailed explanation-3: -Decision. The Supreme Court heard arguments on the case on February 8 and 11 and decided on February 16, 1833. It held that the Bill of Rights, such as the Fifth Amendment’s guarantee of just compensation for takings of private property for public use, are restrictions on the federal government alone.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. Constitution only prohibited the actions of the federal government. Therefore, the Fifth Amendment did not apply to state or local governments. The Supreme Court’s principles of federalism limited the power of the federal government from encroaching on that of the states.
