Prior to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, The Bill of Rights ( the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution) only applied to the Federal government. This meant that states were not obliged to adopt the Amendments and the laws that came as a result of them.

After the Civil War ended, the Fourteenth Amendment was created and ratified, the Bill of Rights was now applicable not only to federal courts but also to state ones. This meant that citizens were now more protected, as federal and states obligations are the same in most cases.

The answer is "crosscutting cleavages ".

A cross-cutting cleavage happens when individuals that are on a similar cleavage, or division in the public arena (as per race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, geographic foundation, religion, and so on.), happen in various gatherings. A case of cross-cutting cleavage is that individuals from a similar ethnic gathering, (for example, Mexican-Americans) live in both the Northeast and the West in the United States.

Political researchers trust cross-slicing cleavages are a strategy to decrease strife in the public eye, as individuals from one gathering must join along various lines. At the end of the day, cross-cutting cleavages can enable individuals from various gatherings to cooperate to discover shared belief.
