Selective incorporation, the legal doctrine that ensures states cannot enact laws that infringe on the rights protected by the Bill of Rights, has not fundamentally changed but has evolved through various Supreme Court rulings. Key amendments have been incorporated over time, with the most recent significant cases reinforcing or expanding these protections. However, the core principle remains intact, as the Supreme Court continues to interpret the applicability of the Bill of Rights to the states on a case-by-case basis. Thus, while the specific applications may evolve, the overall framework of selective incorporation persists.

Why the court shifted from a total incorporation doctrine to a selective incorporation doctrine in the 1960?
The shift from total incorporation to selective incorporation in the 1960s was primarily driven by the Supreme Court's desire to balance state and federal powers while ensuring individual rights. Total incorporation would have applied all protections in the Bill of Rights to the states, which was seen as overly broad. Instead, selective incorporation allowed the Court to evaluate and apply specific rights deemed fundamental to the notion of due process under the 14th Amendment. This approach provided a more nuanced framework for protecting individual liberties while respecting states' rights.

So if one of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights forbids Congress from infringing a particular freedom, then the State legislatures can't do so either."Selective incorporation" holds that only those Amendments that embody certain "fundamental rights" are applied to the States.
