By design, the Bill of Rights applies only to the national government, not state governments. Why doesnʼt it apply to the
states? The writers who proposed the Bill of Rights were confident that state could control their own state officials.
Unfortunately, over time, it became apparent that enforcement of the protections varied widely. Specifically some states
legalized slavery and some did not.

To deal with this situation, the 14th Amendment was adopted in 1868. In Section 1 of this amendment are its Due Process
Clause and the Equal Protection Clause:
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States; nor shall any States deprive any ! person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law; nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.
If you go back and red the 5th Amendment, you will see that its Due Process Clause assures that the national government
doesnʼt deprive people of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. By comparison, the Due Process Clause and
the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment protect our civil liberties from possible abuses by state governments.

TEXT

The Civil War was fought between the Union (anti-slavery states) and Confederate states (the pro-
slavery states who had band together). The Confederate army surrendered in 1865. The Thirteenth
Amendment completed the abolition of slavery, which had begun with the Emancipation Proclamation
issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Lincoln worried that the Emancipation Proclamation which
outlawed slavery in all states was not strong enough to force pro-slavery states to end their long standing
system of slavery. The 13th Amendment stated “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, shall exist in
the United States.
