Answer: "could not be incorporated by the Fourteenth Amendment."
Explanation: In Palko v. Connecticut (Frank Palko), the Court held that the Fifth Amendment protection against double jeopardy was not a "fundamental" right incorporated by the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause to apply to the states. (Later, Benton v. Maryland (1969) overruled that part and incorporated double jeopardy.)
