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.
