Because the Court reasons that the Fourteenth Amendment
does not generally require states to protect their citizens,
the Court concludes that to hold otherwise would unduly
stretch the bounds of the Fourteenth Amendment and
would amount to "judicial activism." In other words,
citizens can pass laws to expand rights; the Court, by
contrast, has no role in finding new rights not stated in the
constitution.
