Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Selective incorporation is the process by which certain provisions of the Bill of Rights are applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. This amendment, adopted in 1868, includes the clause: "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." This clause has been interpreted by the Supreme Court to incorporate some, but not all, of the protections in the Bill of Rights against state infringement.
