Explanation:

Gitlow v. New York was a key Supreme Court case that established the incorporation doctrine framework. The Court ruled that the First Amendment's free speech protections could be applied to state governments through the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. This confirmed that the due process clause can be used to incorporate parts of the Bill of Rights to bind states, and that the First Amendment (via incorporation) applies to state law. The 14th Amendment's supremacy over state law was already established prior to this case, and the case directly contradicted the ideas that amendments can't be incorporated or that states don't need to follow the Bill of Rights.

Answer:

• Through incorporation, the First Amendment applied to state law.
• The due process clause can be used to incorporate the Bill of Rights.
