Selective Incorporation..?
What exactly is it and how does it protect one's individual rights?
Answers:
The bill of rights does not apply directly to state action. Instead, they are selectively incorporated by the Supreme Court of the United States into the concept of ordered liberty found within the 14th amendment, which does apply directly to the states. Currently, almost all of the bill of rights have been selectively incorporated, one by one, case by case, into the 14th to the point where they apply to the states and the state power is limited by the bill of rights.
The only rights that have not been incorporated are: (a) the right to a jury trial in civil cases; (b) the prohibition against quartering soldiers; (c) the right to a grand jury; (d) the prohibition against excessive fines in the 8th; and (e) the right to keep and bear arms
