Description:

This work focuses on the issue of whether the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution was designed to bring the states under the provisions of the Bill of Rights. The author traces the origins of the Fourteenth Amendment and provides a comprehensive look into the lawmakers intent. He negates the recently emerging idea that the incorporation doctrine is based on shaky historical foundations.
