Question

Which term describes the view that all bill of rights protections should apply to the states

A. Procedural due process
B. Fundamental rights
C. Total incorporation
D. Selective Incorporation

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) total incorporation.

The term that describes the view that all Bill of Rights protections should apply to the states is total incorporation.

The Supreme Court used the 14th. Amendment to the United States Constitution to incorporate the Bill of Rights in the states. This was ratified in 1868 and prohibits the states to deprive the rights of the citizens of the US without due process of law. That is how the court used this amendment in cases where the states wanted to suppress liberties or commit injustices against citizens.
