What was the Supreme Court’s main decision in Palko v. Connecticut?

The Supreme Court ruled that Connecticut’s retrial of Palko did not violate the Constitution’s protection against double jeopardy, because the Court did not then consider that protection essential to fundamental fairness under the Fourteenth Amendment. It therefore upheld his conviction and death sentence. The case was Palko v. Connecticut; “Palka” in the choices is a misspelling.
