No State Shall Abridge: The Fourteenth Amendment and the Bill of Rights

“The book is carefully organized and well written, and it deals with a question that is still of great importance — what is the relationship of the Bill of Rights to the states.” — Journal of American History“Curtis effectively settles a serious legal debate: whether the framers of the 14th Amendment intended to incorporate the Bill of Rights guarantees and thereby inhibit state action. Taking on a formidable array of constitutional scholars, ... he rebuts their argument with vigor and effectiveness, conclusively demonstrating the legitimacy of the incorporation thesis... A bold, forcefully argued, important study.” — Library Journal
