What happened during the supreme court's ruling in Barron v Baltimore 1833?

In Barron v. Baltimore (1833), the Supreme Court ruled that the Bill of Rights did not apply to state governments. The case involved John Barron, who claimed that the city of Baltimore had violated his property rights by dumping sand in the harbor, rendering his wharf unusable. The Court, led by Chief Justice John Marshall, concluded that the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of just compensation for property taken by the government was applicable only to the federal government, not to the states. This decision established a precedent for the interpretation of federalism and the limits of federal power over state actions.
