another’s rights
To whom are rights guaranteed? Most rights are guaranteed to all persons…
Incorporation Originally, the Bill of Rights applied only to the Federal
government (see 1st Amendment) 14th Amendment changes that: “…nor shall any State
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law…” (Due Process Clause)
