What is it called when the fourteenth amendment is used to apply the bill of rights to states government?
The process of using the Fourteenth Amendment to apply the Bill of Rights to state governments is called "incorporation." The process the US Supreme Court has chosen to follow is called "selective incorporation," because the Bill of Rights is being applied to the states on Clause or Amendment at a time.More Information"Incorporation," occurs by way of a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. The 14th Amendment (among others) was ratified after the Civil War, and was intended to give constitutional muster to the reconstruction the American south. The "due process" clause of that Amendment provides that no person shall be denied due process of the laws of the United States. The Bill of Rights is among the laws of the United States.Seen from this point of view, it would make sense to argue that all of the first ten Amendments was "incorporated" to the states upon ratification of the 14th Amendment. In fact, Justices Black and Douglass repeatedly made this argument. But for various reasons, that is not the approach the majority of the Court has taken. Rather, the Court has taken a step-by-step approach to incorporating the Bill of Rights. Today, most of the rights are incorporated (e.g., the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, and part of the Eighth Amendment). The Second Amendment was incorporated as a result of the Supreme Court's decision in McDonald v. City of Chicago, (2010); the Seventh Amendment remains unincorporated, and the Third Amendment only applies to states within one circuit.
What are the amendments of the bill of rights?
The Bill of Rights is comprised of the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. They were put into effect in 1791, after they had been ratified by 3/4 of the states. The First Amendment protects freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble, and the right to petition the Government. The Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms. The Third Amendment protects us from being forced to quarter troops. The Fourth Amendment protects us from unreasonable search and seizure. The Fifth Amendment allows us due process when we are accused of a crime, the freedom from "double jeopardy"-- being tried for the same crime twice, freedom from being compelled to testify against ourselves, and the right of "eminent domain," which means that private property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to trial by jury in criminal cases, as well as other rights of the accused, such as a speedy and public trial and the right to legal counsel. The Seventh Amendment guarantees the right to trial by jury in civic cases. The Eighth Amendment protects us from excessive fines and from cruel and unusual punishment. The Ninth Amendment states that, just because some laws are specifically laid out in the Bill of Rights, that does not mean that the others are taken away. The Tenth Amendment states that all powers not specifically given to the federal government belong to the states or to the people.
