The correct response is:
Selective incorporation required that the right to freedom of speech be protected by state governments.
Selective incorporation is a constitutional doctrine that ensures the Bill of Rights is applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. This means that rights such as freedom of speech, originally intended to restrict only the federal government, are also applicable to the states.
