What is the selective incorporation process?
Selective Incorporation has nothing to do with corporations. It's a legal doctrine related to the Supreme Court deciding whether certain parts of the Bill of Rights are held to be applicable to the states as the result of the ratification of the 14th Amendment. Most of the first 8 amendments and the 13th Amendment are held to be applicable to the states as well as the Federal government.
Why is it selective incorporation good for the federal government?
The US Supreme Court's interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses permits them to apply the Bill of Rights to the states, through the process of selective incorporation. This allows federal legislation and US Supreme Court decisions to be applied uniformly, nationwide, as individual clauses in the Bill of Rights are determined to be applicable in order to ensure protection against unconstitutional state statutes and policies. In the past, certain constitutional protections could only be enforced against the federal government, but the states were free to ignore individual rights and pass excessively restrictive or discriminatory statutes with impunity.
