ELLETT, Justice
(concurring).
I concur but do not wish to be understood as believing that the defendants had any rights under the first eight amend*77ments to the Federal Constitution. Those amendments were adopted solely as limitations on the newly created Federal Entity and were not applicable to the sovereign states; nor did the Fourteenth Amendment change that relationship in any manner whatsoever.1

. See cases cited in the annotation in 19 A.L.R. at pages 644-646; see also Dyett v. Turner, 20 Utah 2d 403, 439 P.2d 266 (1968).
