Answer:The correct answer is c. selective incorporation.Explanation:The correct answer is c. selective incorporation.Selective incorporation is the approach that the US Supreme Court has used since the mid-1920s to determine whether the Bill of Rights applies to the states in protecting the public. Under this approach, the Court has selectively incorporated certain provisions of the Bill of Rights into the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which applies to the states. The Court has determined on a case-by-case basis whether a particular provision of the Bill of Rights is "fundamental" to due process and therefore applicable to the states. This approach has allowed for the gradual expansion of individual rights and liberties at the state level, without necessarily applying the entire Bill of Rights to the states all at once.
