1) Miranda v. Arizona (1966): The Court said police must tell arrested people they have the right to remain silent and the right to a lawyer (Miranda warnings), protecting the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and applying it to state cases through due process.

2) Gideon v. Wainwright (1963): The Court ruled that states must provide a lawyer to poor defendants in criminal cases because the right to counsel is essential for a fair trial, and the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process makes that rule apply to states.

3) Mapp v. Ohio (1961): The Court said evidence taken by police in violation of the Constitution cannot be used in state trials, using the Fourteenth Amendment to apply the exclusionary rule and protect fair process.

4) Powell v. Alabama (1932): The Court decided that in capital cases the state must give defendants access to attorneys so they have a fair chance, relying on the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process protections.

5) Rochin v. California (1952): The Court held that forcing a suspect’s stomach to be pumped for evidence “shocks the conscience” and violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process, limiting brutal police methods.

6) Loving v. Virginia (1967): The Court struck down laws banning interracial marriage, saying the freedom to marry is a fundamental right protected by the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process (and equal protection).

7) Obergefell v. Hodges (2015): The Court ruled same-sex couples have the right to marry under the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process and equal protection clauses, making marriage equality nationwide.

8) Washington v. Glucksberg (1997): The Court held the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process does not protect a right to physician-assisted suicide, and set a test that only rights deeply rooted in history are protected.
