Answer: takes a subjective case-by-case approach to the question of incorporation.
Explanation: selective incorporation is the Supreme Court’s practice of applying most—but not all—Bill of Rights protections to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. The Court decides on a right-by-right basis whether a particular guarantee is “fundamental” (e.g., freedom of speech, right to counsel) and therefore incorporated. This is the opposite of a single, uniform rule applied to every amendment.
