whya were some states able to ignore the guarentees of the bill of rights?

Answer 1

Because the Bill of Rights only limited federal action, not state action. That applied until the 14th Amendment, and the doctrine of Selective Incorporation, which applied the protections of six of the first eight amendments (skilling 2nd and 7th) against the states.

Answer 2

Give examples next time, your question is a bit deceptive.
