topeka and kansas, gideon versus wainwright in florida, roe v. wade and texas, lawrence versus texas, sullivan was an effort by alabama to shut down free speech. miranda v. arizona, griswold versus connecticut. most of the cases that ordinary people think of as bill of rights cases are not bill of rights cases because the amendments are only about limiting the federal government. so, what kind of cases are gideon versus wainwright and texas when they are not bill of rights cases you now know enough to know the answer was cases are they. they are 14th amendment cases. no state or localities shall make or enforce any that is the second founding. a second bill of rights that is more intuitive for most americans today because the states misbehave because matheson lost. no state shall violate the senate didn't go along so he lost that fight but he wins in the end thanks to the 14th amendment and we gave madison the credit for the final amendment but it's a little bit ironic because all of this is precipitated this 14th amendment by the slave of crises
