The 14th Amendment that gives the states rights to extend provisions under the national Bill of Rights.
There are no implied rights. The Bill of Rights states the rights directly.
Fundamental rights in the United States were established with the Bill of Rights.
Many amendments have been added since the Bill of Rights and they protect many different rights and privileges.
The first ten Amendments were ratified together, reaching ratification by three-quarters of the States then comprising the Union, on December 15, 1791. Previously, Amendments I-X were considered the "Bill of Rights". Modernly, the Bill of Rights is considered only Amendments I-VIII, because only these Amendments describe individual rights. Amendment IX and Amendment X refer to collective, residual rights reserved to the People and to the States.
In the Bill of Rights there are provisions that prohibit ex post facto laws and bills of attainder. There are also provisions that prohibit states from impairing contracts.

The 14th Amendment that gives the states rights to extend provisions under the national Bill of Rights.
The United States Bill of Rights, ratified in 1791, incorporated several provisions from the English Bill of Rights of 1689 and various state constitutions. Key principles, such as the protection of individual liberties, the right to a fair trial, and freedom of speech, can be traced back to these earlier documents. Additionally, the Virginia Declaration of Rights, drafted by George Mason in 1776, significantly influenced the Bill of Rights, particularly in its emphasis on natural rights and the importance of government accountability.
Division of Powers- Basic principle of federalism and constitutional provisions by which governmental powers are divided on a geographic basis (in the U.S. between the National Government and the States).

The 14th Amendment to the U.S Constitution enforces federal law, including the Bill of Rights, on the state governments. However, before the 14th Amendment, states did have the ability to "violate" the rights of their citizens.
State and local governments are required to comply with most provisions in the Bill of Rights due to the incorporation doctrine. This doctrine, established through Supreme Court cases, holds that the protections outlined in the Bill of Rights also apply to state and local governments through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Therefore, state and local governments cannot violate citizens' fundamental rights protected by the Bill of Rights.
