Answer 1

The correct answer here is the federal government.

Barron v. Baltimore is a landmark and the precedent setting case that the Supreme Court heard and made a ruling in 1833. This case set the precedent that the Bill of Rights only applies to the federal government and not the individual state governments. This was an important ruling in establishing the the concept of the US federalism.
