“The first ten amendments were proposed and adopted largely because of fear that Government might unduly interfere with prized individual liberties. The people wanted and demanded a Bill of Rights written into their Constitution. The amendments embodying the Bill of Rights were intended to curb all branches of the Federal Government in the fields touched by the amendments—Legislative, Executive, and Judicial.” Justice Hugo L. Black, (1886-1971) US Supreme Court Justice. Source: Adamson v. California, 332 U.S. 46, 71 (Dissent) (1947).
