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:

In the 1833 case Barron v. Baltimore, the Supreme Court ruled that the Bill of Rights (originally) did not apply to state governments. The first option is incorrect as the Court didn't rule Baltimore owed payment. The third option is about naturalized citizens' rights, not related to this case. The fourth option is incorrect as the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified later (post - Civil War), so it couldn't be violated in 1833.

Answer:

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