In the 1833 case of Barron v. Baltimore the Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment applied only to which level of government?

In the 1833 case of Barron v. Baltimore, the Supreme Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment applied only to the federal government and not to state governments. The Court determined that the protections against the taking of private property without just compensation were not applicable to state actions. This decision established a precedent that the Bill of Rights restricted only federal authority, leaving states free to regulate property rights as they saw fit. It wasn't until later cases that the incorporation of the Bill of Rights against the states began to take place through the Fourteenth Amendment.
