Important to remember of course that the constitution was never meant to apply to state government until post-Civil War amendments. If that Jefferson quote was true then, how much moreso is it now?

This is such a giant part of American Government History it a shame that the vast majority of people don't realize that no part of the Constitution, including the BOR, applied to the States prior to the 14A and selective incorporation. Most don't realize that, still to this day, not all of the BOR applies to the States and the States are free to violate those parts of the BOR (this includes right to a grand jury and right to a trial by jury in civil cases).
