The correct answer is to ensure equal treatment to all citizens.

Supreme court expanded incorporation of bill of rights in order to ensure that there is equal treatment to all citizens.

Incorporation doctrine is being selected such that it can provide the bill of rights which are being applied to a state so as to process the clause which is the fourteen Amendment.

Fourteen Amendment extends rights and liberties which are being given to slaves by bill of rights.
