The 14th Amendment. Incorporation - the process by which court decisions have required the states to follow parts of the Bill of Rights based on the use or application of the 14th Amendment- which continued to occur gradually, up until the last incorporation case in 1969 (its also sometimes referred to as the "absorption' or the "nationalizing" of the Bill of Rights). -- This is what my book said.

No. In reference to the Constitution, "incorporation" means applying portions of the Bill of Rights to the States, to prevent the states from infringing on people's constitutional rights. A change or addition to the Constitution is called an amendment.
The no incorporation justices argued that the Bill of Rights applied only to the federal government, not the states. The plus incorporation justices used the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to extend the Bill of Rights to the states, incorporating them through a process of selective or total incorporation.
