Which clause of the Fourteenth Amendment ended up being used by the courts to apply the Bill of Rights to the states?
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.

Why may government require that groups first obtain permits to practice or demonstrate?
The First Amendment of the BILL OF RIGHTS provides that "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging . . . the right of the people peaceably to assemble."This provision applies to state government entities through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Though neither the federal Constitution nor any state constitution specifically protects rights of association, the United States Supreme Court and other courts have extended assembly rights to include rights of association.Rights to free speech and assembly are not absolute under the relevant JURISPRUDENCE. Government entities may restrict many types of speech without violating First Amendment protections. Many of the Supreme Court's First Amendment cases focus on two main questions: first, whether the restriction on speech was based on the content of the speech; and second, whether the speech was given in a traditional public forum or elsewhere. Some questions focus exclusively on the actual speech, rather than on aspects of the right to assembly. Other questions contain aspects of both the right to free speech and the right to assemble peacefully. Cases addressing free speech plus some conduct in the exercise of assembly rights often pose complex questions, since either the speech rights or the assembly rights may not protect the parties in these types of cases.Since the courts take into consideration such a variety of factors when determining whether a particular speech or whether a particular assemblage is protected by the First Amendment, it is difficult to provide a concise definition of rights of assembly. Even in areas where a government entity may restrict speech or assembly rights, courts are more likely to find a violation of the First Amendment if speech or assembly is banned completely. Some restrictions merely involve the application for a permit or license to assemble, such as obtaining a license to hold a parade in a public street. Other time, place, and/or manner restrictions may also apply.

How can the fourth amendment be applied to the states?
The Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, is applied to the states through the doctrine of incorporation via the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. This means that state governments are also required to respect individuals' rights against unreasonable searches and seizures, as established by the Supreme Court in cases like Mapp v. Ohio (1961). As a result, evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment is generally inadmissible in state courts, reinforcing the protection of individual privacy rights.
