Question

the practice of selective incorporation means that the bill of rights will always be applied to the states by the court. never be applied to the states by the court. sometimes be applied to the court by the states. sometimes be applied to the states by the court.

Explanation:

Selective incorporation is a legal doctrine where the Supreme Court applies parts of the Bill of Rights to the states on a case - by - case (or "sometimes") basis, not always, not never, and the application is from the Court to the states (not the other way around). So the correct option is the one stating "sometimes be applied to the states by the Court".

Answer:

D. sometimes be applied to the states by the Court (assuming the last option is labeled D; if the original options had labels like A, B, C, D with the last option being D, this is the correct one. If the labels were different, adjust the label but keep the text "sometimes be applied to the states by the Court").
