Question

4.2.2 quiz: due process and incorporation
question 8 of 10
which term describes the view that all bill of rights protections should apply to the states?
a. total incorporation
b. procedural due process
c. selective incorporation
d. fundamental rights

Explanation:

• Total incorporation is the doctrine that asserts every protection in the Bill of Rights should be applied to state governments through the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause.
• Procedural due process refers to fair procedures in legal proceedings, not broad Bill of Rights application to states.
• Selective incorporation applies only fundamental Bill of Rights protections to states, not all.
• Fundamental rights are a subset of rights deemed essential, not the term for full Bill of Rights application to states.

Answer:

A. Total incorporation
