Well, the question makes no sense at all.
Prior to incorporation the Bill of Rights didn't apply to the states, period. Do I know any cases that say that? Start with Barron v. Baltimore (1833), which held that the due process clause of the 5th Amendment did not apply to the states, and go on from there.
Yes, states do have constitutions.
And now that the SCOTUS has incorporated certain "fundamental rights" via the 14th Amendment, they (and the states) have developed a doctrine which holds that the Constitution sets a floor for rights, but not a ceiling. That is to say, a state constitition can give MORE rights than the federal Constitution, but not less.
You probably learned that in whatever law school you attended, surely. And thus, there's no reason for me to hunt for cases which tell you something you know.
If the question is, "now that certain of the rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights have been incorporated, how does that interface with state constitutional rights," there's your answer.
If that's not the question, I have no idea what you're asking. |
