7 Martin v. Hunter s Lessee (1816) Judges of equal learning and integrity, in different states, might differently interpret a statute, or a treaty of the United States, or even the constitution itself: If there were no revising authority to control these jarring and discordant judgments, and harmonize them into uniformity [continued]
8 Martin v. Hunter s Lessee (1816) [continued] the laws, the treaties, and the constitution of the United States would be different in different states, and might, perhaps, never have precisely the same construction, obligation, or efficacy, in any two states.
9 Barron v. Baltimore (1835) Bill of Rights only applies to federal government Adopted for fear that federal government threatened those rights already recognized by states
10 Slaughterhouse Cases (1873) The 14 th Amendment only protects rights held by individuals as federal citizens, not as state citizens. Cannot replicate basic rights of free speech, defendants rights, etc as those are protected by states
11 Incorporated Amendments Complete Incorporation: First, Fourth, Sixth, Ninth Partial Incorporation Fifth (except requirement for Grand Jury) Eighth (except ban on excessive bail or fines) Non-Incorporated: Second, Third, Seventh
12 Application of Bill of Rights to States Amend Right Supreme Court Case First Speech Gitlow v. New York (1925) Press Near v. Minnesota (1931) Assembly DeJonge v.

14 William Brennan "State Constitutions and the Protection of Individual Rights. Harvard Law Rev Saw retrenchment at federal level after civil rights/liberties gains of 1960s Advocated expansion of rights at state level through interpretation of state constitutional provisions, which were often stronger
15 US Constitution - Religious Freedom 1 st Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
16 UT Constitution - Religious Freedom Article I, Section 4. [Religious liberty.] The rights of conscience shall never be infringed. The State shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office of public trust or for any vote at any election; nor shall any person be incompetent as a witness or juror on account of religious belief or the absence thereof. [continued]
17 UT Constitution - Religious Freedom Article I, Section 4. [Religious liberty.] [continued] There shall be no union of Church and State, nor shall any church dominate the State or interfere with its functions. No public money or property shall be appropriated for or applied to any religious worship, exercise or instruction, or for the support of any ecclesiastical establishment.
18 US Constitution Bearing Arms 2nd Amendment A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
19 UT Constitution Bearing Arms Article I, Section 6. [Right to bear arms.] The individual right of the people to keep and bear arms for security and defense of self, family, others, property, or the state, as well as for other lawful purposes shall not be infringed; but nothing herein shall prevent the Legislature from defining the lawful use of arms.
20 Michigan v. Long (1983) MI police search Long s car/ find drugs MI Supreme Court finds search illegitimate, seemingly relies on federal 4 th Amendment cases, rather than MI Constitution, but reaches different result than U.S. Sup Ct
21 Michigan v. Long (1983) O Connor s Majority Opinion: we find that we have jurisdiction in the absence of a plain statement that the decision below rested on an adequate and independent state ground.
22 Michigan v. Long (1983) Stevens dissent: If the Finnish police had arrested a Finnish citizen for possession of marihuana, and the Finnish courts had turned him loose, no American would have standing to object
23 Michigan v. Long - Stevens dissent: In this case, the State of Michigan has arrested one of its citizens and the Michigan Supreme Court has decided to turn him loose Michigan simply provided greater protection to one of its citizens than some other State might provide or, indeed, than this Court might require throughout the country.
