It's complicated. States can't just limit a persons rights because they aren't explicitly enumerated in the constitution. The federal government does have an expressed interest in making sure states don't legislate away peoples rights, whether they are explicitly enumerated or not.

Historically, yes, they can. The BoR didn't initially restrict state action, only federal action.
