Yes, but only for those portions of the Bill of Rights which have been incorporated to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. The US Supreme Court uses a process called "selective incorporation" that applies the first eight amendments of the Bill of Rights to the states on a clause-by-clause basis as need arises, but not all amendments or clauses within amendments have been applied.

Do The incorporation controversy has four approaches to incorporation?

Yes, the incorporation controversy regarding the application of the Bill of Rights to the states typically involves four main approaches: the total incorporation approach, which argues that all provisions of the Bill of Rights apply to the states; the selective incorporation approach, which asserts that only certain rights are applicable through the Fourteenth Amendment; the fundamental rights approach, which focuses on rights essential to the notion of liberty; and the "no incorporation" approach, which holds that the Bill of Rights applies solely to the federal government. Each approach reflects differing interpretations of the Constitution and the intentions of the framers.

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.
