The correct response is:
Selective incorporation required that the right to freedom of speech be protected by state governments.
Selective incorporation refers to the legal doctrine through which certain protections in the Bill of Rights have been applied to the states using the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. This means that fundamental rights, including freedom of speech, are not only protected from federal infringement but also from state infringement.
