How does the US Supreme Court typically use the Fourteenth Amendment?
The Supreme Court uses the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses to selectively incorporate individual clauses in the Bill of Rights to the states in order to make federal legislation and US Supreme Court decisions enforceable against and within the states. Without the Fourteenth Amendment, Supreme Court decisions would not be enforceable against any body except the federal government. For more information, see Related Questions, below.

What Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was used to incorporate the Second Amendment to the states?
The US Supreme Court incorporated the Second Amendment to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause as a result of their decision in McDonald v. City of Chicago, 261 US ___ (2010).Although the Privileges and Immunities Clause was originally thought to incorporate the Bill of Rights to the states, the Supreme Court blocked this path with its decision in the first case interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment, The Slaughter-House Cases, 83 US 36 (1873).In the opinion of the Court, Justice Samuel Miller concluded the Privileges or Immunities Clause protects only those rights "which owe their existence to the Federal government, its National character, its Constitution, or its laws." Justice Samuel Alito summarized the Court's earlier thinking in his recent written opinion for McDonald: "The Court held that other fundamental rights-rights that predated the creation of the Federal Government and that 'the State governments were created to establish and secure' - were not protected by the Clause."The Court later explicitly refused to apply the Second Amendment to the States in US v. Cruikshank, 92 US 542 (1876), a decision that stood for 134 years.

Was the abolition of slavery a US Supreme Court decision?
No. Slavery was abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in a joint effort between Congress and the states that ratified the amendment. A constitutional amendment is more powerful than a US Supreme Court decision, because it is not subject to change by the Supreme Court.
