Well, wrong. They enshrined the BoR in the USCon as ameans of putting those Rights offlimits to anyone under the auspices of the Supremem Law of the Land. The State ratifiying convention minutes bear this view out.
I’m afraid I’ve read these things and can find no reference to such a radical and totally ill-rational position.
What you are proposing was not only not imagined but totally out of step with what the Founders were trying to do with the Bill of rights.
You must remember States all had their own constitutions already enshrining their own often different concepts of Good Government. They were afraid of Washington coming in and dictating its political context upon them as a tool of a distant and potentially hostile majority.
The first Amendment was actually point in case to this, as many if not most states had official religions the 9th and 10th amendment further emphasis theses points by spelling them out.
Im sorry but your trying to support a fantasy of incorporation that is in truth very dangerous and destructive to the very ends you desire. Freedom is not something that can be supported from the top down. It must be found in and supported from the bottom up. That means competition and most of all the power to vote with your feet.
If and when Washington find it with in its power to monopolize power over individuals everywhere it crushes that freedom permanently by way of suppressing any opportunity for people to rediscover it for themselves.
