So that was never true until after the 14th amendment passed and only later on when it was interpreted by the Supreme Court. The entire US constitution only applied to the US Federal Government, until the 14th amendment expanded it to state governments and all publicly chartered entities and all entities that accept direct material support from publicly chartered entities which is only noticeable when they interact with the people. So that would have been over 100 years ago so you might think the point is moot. The reality is that the point is not resolved, never will be completely resolved, and has had less time to be resolved than people may notice.
