The "total incorporation" argument holds that the 14th Amendment makes the individual States subject to the restrictions of the earlier Amendments. ALL of them. So if one of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights forbids Congress from infringing a particular freedom, then the State legislatures can't do so either.
"Selective incorporation" holds that only those Amendments that embody certain "fundamental rights" are applied to the States.

Which 1937 Supreme Court case established the principle of selective incorporation?
Palko v. Connecticut
What are the concepts of total incorporation and selective incorporation as they relate to the Bill of Rights?
Total incorporation (sometimes called "mechanical incorporation") would apply the first eight amendments of the Bill of Rights (the Ninth and Tenth aren't individual rights; the Ninth isn't triable) to the states as a single unit via the Fourteenth Amendment, as some constitutional scholars argue was the original intent.Selective incorporation applies individual clauses within the Bill of Rights as the need arises due to US Supreme Court decisions. This has left certain portions of the first eight amendments, including the Second and Seventh Amendments in their entirety, under state government control. Second Amendment incorporation was recently challenged in McDonald v. Chicago, (2010); the Court is expected to make a determination on the matter by the end of June 2010.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
What court case started the incorporation of the Bill of Rights to the laws of the States?
The US Supreme Court uses the doctrine of selective incorporation to apply individual clauses of the Bill of Rights to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. Congress' original attempt at total incorporation via the Privileges and Immunities Clause was declared unconstitutional in the Civil Rights Cases, 109 US 3 (1883).Most sources cite either Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad v. City of Chicago, 166 US 226 (1897) which upheld the Fifth Amendment Takings Clause, or Gitlow v. New York, 268 US 652 (1925) which held the Fourteenth Amendment required the States to adhere to the First Amendment.The Fifth Amendment case, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy gets my vote as the original instance of incorporation, but textbooks often cite the First Amendment case, Gitlow.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

Does the total current of a parallel RLC circuit is equal to the sum of current in resistor inductor and capacitor?
the total current is the vector sum of current expressed in this equation: IT = sqrt ((V/R^2) + (V/XC-V/XL)^2)) since the voltage(V) is equal in every branch due to parallel. we can substiture the value of V to our equation. V = supply voltage (possible).
How do the current and voltage in the individual resistors compare when resistors are connected in series?
When "n" number of varying resistances are connected in series R total = R1+R2+R3+R4+ . . . . . = Req V total = (V1* I1)+(V2* I1)+(V3* I1)+(V4* I1) { As I1=I2=I3=I4} V total = V battery I total = V battery / Req = I1=I2=I3=I4= . . . . . = Ieq
