1. Yes. And typically those amendments explicitly restricts the congress, not the state legislatures.
2. Yes most of the bill of rights in that ratified constitution explicitly restrict congress, no the state legislatures.
3. Yes, this required later findings, post civil war, amendment by amendment, that some of them incorporated to the state level. This was not a feature of the constitution from the get go, which makes sense because the constitution was not written that way.
I think we're talking past one another at this point. Bottomline, the state legislatures cannot violate the bill of rights. It's got nothing to do with federal Congress, as you continue to purport. Doing so violates the rights of all American citizens within California's borders. Case in point, a federal judge just ruled California's assault weapons ban as unConsitutional: Newsom slams judge who overturned California's assault weapons ban as state appeals ruling
