Assume the following:
- Quebec joins the ARW and becomes a state
- The US Constitution (with Bill of Rights) is effectively identical to its historical form
- Quebec establishes Catholicism as their state church
- The idea of incorporation of the Bill of Rights proceeds, more or less, as it did historically (late 19th-early 20th century)
I’m trying to stay as broad as possible with this, as we coild get bogged down in the weeds pretty quickly (how does an alt-ACW go, and what impact does that have on the 14th amendement?), which I don’t want to do.
Ultimately, with a prominent state having their own established church, how might incorporation play out?
