What portion of the 14th Amendment forced the States to adhere to the Bill of Rights?

The Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses have both been used, but the Due Process Clause has been used more because many amendments in the Bill of Rights relate directly to protection against abuse from the criminal justice system (due process of law).
Please note that only the First, Fourth and Sixth Amendments have been fully incorporated; the Fifth Amendment is mostly incorporated; The Third and Eighth Amendments are partially incorporated; the Second and Seventh Amendments are currently unincorporated. The Ninth and Tenth Amendments, while considered part of the Bill of Rights, are not amenable to the process.

What principle of incorporation does the US Supreme Court use?
The US Supreme Court uses "Selective Incorporation" to apply individual clauses within the Bill of Rights to the States via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process or Equal Protection Clauses.Some historians hold that the 14th Amendment required states to adhere to the Bill of Rights, in toto, while others claim the individual amendments were designed to be incorporated selectively.Total or Mechanical Incorporation (sometimes also called complete incorporation), the method championed by Justice Hugo Black, would have used the Fourteenth Amendment to apply the entire Bill of Rights to the States at one time. The US Supreme Court has chosen to use "selective incorporation," however. The principle of selective incorporation upholds or rejects as inapplicable individual clauses within each Amendment when they are considered relevant to a case before the Court.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
What area of the Bill of Rights did the US Supreme Court incorporate first?
The US Supreme Court uses the doctrine of selective incorporation to apply individual clauses of the Bill of Rights to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. Congress' original attempt at total incorporation via the Privileges and Immunities Clause was declared unconstitutional in the Civil Rights Cases, 109 US 3 (1883).Most sources cite either Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad v. City of Chicago, 166 US 226 (1897) which upheld the Fifth Amendment Takings Clause, or Gitlow v. New York, 268 US 652 (1925) which held the Fourteenth Amendment required the States to adhere to the First Amendment.The Fifth Amendment case, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy gets my vote as the original instance of incorporation, but textbooks often cite the First Amendment case, Gitlow.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
