Bill of Rights and States Why is the Bill of Rights so valuable? What was its original purpose? What didn’t it do when originally written? Applying Bill of Rights to the states 14th amendment--incorporation
![Page 5: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
History The original Constitution, unlike those of
several states, contained no listing of rights to be protected from government interference.
![Page 6: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
History Many delegates to the Constitutional
Convention felt that such a listing was unnecessary because the national government was structured to be one of limited powers.

History Nevertheless, the failure to include such
guarantees became the source of such heated debate at state ratifying conventions that the First Congress, as one of its first acts, proposed 12 amendments, 10 of which were ratified. These 10 amendments are known as the Bill of Rights.
![Page 8: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
History Originally, the Bill of Rights limited the
actions of only the national government. Chief Justice John Marshall’s decision in Barron v. Baltimore foreclosed the possibility that the Bill of Rights could be used to limit state governments.
Slavery was a key issue here.

History Ratification of the 14th Amendment in
1868 provided an opportunity to extend the Bill of Rights to the states.
The due process clause of the 14th Amendment became a means of incorporating the Bill of Rights.
![Page 10: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
History To some, most notably Justice Hugo Black,
this due process clause seemed an obvious attempt to incorporate the entire Bill of Rights. (Black’s position is referred to as total incorporation.)
![Page 11: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
History Since Palko v. Connecticut (1937), the
Supreme Court has used an approach known as selective incorporation: incorporating only those provisions of the Bill of Rights that a majority of justices feel are fundamental to a democratic society.

History Through this process of selective
incorporation, the Court eventually came to apply almost all provisions of the Bill of Rights to the states.

FREEDOM of/from RELIGION
![Page 18: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Freedom of/from Religion First Amendment guarantee that the
government will not create and/or support an official state religion.
![Page 19: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
First Amendment guarantee that citizens may freely engage in the religious activities of their choice
Must have a “compelling state interest” to limit religious freedom (Sherbert v. Verner, 1963)
Freedom of/from Religion
![Page 20: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Freedom of/from Religion The First Amendment’s protection of
religious freedom is composed of two parts—the establishment and free exercise clauses—that often conflict with one another. Providing for the free exercise of religion may constitute an establishment of religion, especially if it entails special treatment for a religious group.
![Page 21: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Freedom of/from Religion Why is religious freedom valuable? Why and how can a majority religion abuse
its privilege?

Free Speech Problem is not that it will necessarily be
legally taken away…..problem is often a “majority-minority” issue.
What is “allowed” by the system.
![Page 26: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Free Speech You are either totally in favor of free
speech, or you are not—think about this.
You cannot pick and chose. Or can we? This is where the political system intervenes.

STUDY QUESTIONS
![Page 41: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Study Questions Briefly discuss the meaning of rights in a democratic society.
What does the term "rights" actually mean--give me your own definition? Are right absolute?
The textbook authors suggest that there are obvious tensions in a democratic society between the power of the individual and the power of the state. When and how do those tensions come in conflict? And how are those tensions resolved?
![Page 42: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Study Questions Comment on Justice William O. Douglas’s quote
that "Speech, except when linked with action, should be immune from prosecution." Do you agree with that statement?
Should there be any restrictions or limits on speech? Can you think of any examples: internet, hate speech, etc?
![Page 43: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Study Questions Why is free speech and a free press so
important in a democracy? Can too much free speech have negative consequences? Are there times when we might want to restrict speech?
![Page 44: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Study Questions How much courage does someone need
to fight for their civil liberties and rights? How can an individual prepare for the public rejection that so often accompanies efforts to guarantee rights such as religious freedom or free speech?
![Page 45: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Study Questions What does it mean to have academic freedom?
Should professors be able to discuss anything they want in class? If we restrict a professor's ability to discuss what he or she wants in class, how might that hinder the student's educational experience? What benefits might come from it?
![Page 46: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Study Questions Do those accused of crimes have too
many protections? Should victims of crimes have more rights? If so, what should some of those rights be?
![Page 47: barbour5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e6610b4af9f200d8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Study Questions Why is the Bill of Rights so valuable? What
would our society be like if we didn't have the Bill of Rights? Finally, briefly discuss the Bill of Rights and its relationship to the states.

Study Questions Shouldn’t states be able to make their own
laws concerning rights?

Study Questions Should the United States have a Bill of
Obligations? If so, what should be included in it? Would a Bill of Obligations change citizens' views toward government and civic engagement?
