Question 1 • * HSA 26-27 US Government
The Fourteenth Amendment limits what state governments may do, and courts have used its Due Process Clause to apply many protections in the Bill of Rights to the states. This process is called incorporation. It shows that state laws must respect constitutional rights, so the Constitution takes precedence when state law conflicts with those rights. The correct choice is “the Fourteenth Amendment applied to state law through incorporation.”
