The United States Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. ... In the 1833 case of Barron v. Baltimore, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Bill of Rights did not apply to state governments; such protections were instead provided by the constitutions of each state.

Hope this helped :)
