The Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment and States Rights

Did the *Founders (*meaning framers and ratifiers of US Constitution), intend for the Bill of Rights to NOT apply to the states? If yes, I wonder if you are principled enough to argue that the *Founders intended for the states to be able to take private property for public use, without just compensation, if they so chose?

It is pretty simple...if the Bill of Rights apply to the people, then no state can make a law to abridge that right.
 
Did the the framers and backers of the 14th Amendment intend for the Bill of Rights to apply to the state governments? If yes, how do you use old states rights arguments, which were used pre the 14th amendment, to argue that the rules of pre 14th should apply to states rights today? Do you ignore the 14th or try to parse it in ways that fit the bill of particulars you are selling?

There is no argument, no state can infringe upon the rights granted upon them by the Constitution of the United Stats. If you want to take this to another argument, please do...but just make your point without the nonsense

The Supreme Court under Chief Justice Marshall unanimously disagreed with your assumption. This is still in the age of the *Founders. Evidence shows that some people back then agreed with you, but the Court in an important case disagreed.

so in effect, nothing is as simple as you would have people believe

Supreme Court cases are nonsense? If you believe that why would you believe anything based on what the Court has ruled?

There were these arguments you are denying and the US Supreme Court was asked to rule. Is it more important to you to deal with facts or with feelings?

I believe the intention of the ratification in 1868 was to show that people are in fact, not property. So, no.

You believe the 14th amendment was only about slaves and people as property?

Clearly not. But you asked several vague questions instead of making one cogent point. I took it as does the 14th amendment allow for states to abridge property rights. The answer is no. As the 14th is explicit.

Most litigation surrounding 14 is for said rights in that regard. Brown vs. Board, etc....not whether the state could take property without compensation.
 
This is glorious. Because I have a number of asswipes on ignore, and most of those asswipes are avowed racists, I only see your responses, Dante, but not their drivel . Yes, I think this thread is gonna get a lot o' swing!

not really. what was asked was:
Did the *Founders (*meaning framers and ratifiers of US Constitution), intend for an individual state to take property without compensation.?

you disagree that they did?
