Question

what was the supreme courts decision in barron v. baltimore in 1833?
the city of baltimore owed barron payment for damages
the bill of rights did not apply at the state level.
naturalized citizens were guaranteed equal rights.
the city of baltimore had violated the fourteenth amendment.

Explanation:

Barron v. Baltimore (1833) was a landmark Supreme Court case that established the principle that the protections of the Bill of Rights only applied to the federal government, not state or local governments, prior to the incorporation of amendments via the Fourteenth Amendment. The other options are incorrect: the Court ruled against Barron, so Baltimore did not owe him damages; the case did not involve naturalized citizens' equal rights; and the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified decades later in 1868, so it could not have been cited in this 1833 case.

Answer:

The Bill of Rights did not apply at the state level.
