Although the Fourteenth Amendment Reads as If Its Authors Meant

Although the Fourteenth Amendment reads as if its authors meant to extend the entire Bill of Rights to the states, the Supreme Court:

A) immediately ruled that the entire Bill of Rights should not be extended to the states.
B) soon ruled that it only applied to eminent domain cases, ones involving the public taking of property from private citizens.
C) saw the Fifth Amendment's due process clause as more important.
D) did not extend most of the Bill of Rights to states until nearly a century after the amendment's ratification.
