The selective incorporation process began in the early 20th century, primarily through Supreme Court decisions that applied the Bill of Rights to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. A significant case was Gitlow v. New York in 1925, which marked the first time the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment's free speech protections applied to state laws. Over the decades, more rights have been incorporated selectively, establishing a broader application of federal protections against state infringement.

Ask us is the difference between total and selective incorporation?
Total incorporation is the legal doctrine which holds that the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause incorporates all of the protections in the Bill of Rights against the states. Selective incorporation, on the other hand, is the legal doctrine which holds that the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause incorporates only certain fundamental protections in the Bill of Rights against the states.
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.

Incorporation doctrine in a sentence?
Total incorporation (sometimes called "mechanical incorporation" or "complete incorporation") would apply the first eight amendments of the Bill of Rights (the Ninth and Tenth aren't individual rights; the Ninth isn't triable) to the states as a single unit via the Fourteenth Amendment, as some constitutional scholars argue was the original intent. The US Supreme Court has elected to use a process called selective incorporation, which applies individual clauses to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, as needed.
