Answer 1

Is it a multiple choice question or is just writing

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is D. The Fourteenth Amendment led to the extension of Bill of Rights protections to state governments through the process of incorporation.

Explanation:

In 1833, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal Bill of Rights did not apply to state governments in the Barron v. Baltimore. The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, adopted in 1868, instituted due process of law in American constitutionalism by defining, in its First Section, that "none of the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States" could be limited by act state. In the Slaughter-House Cases of 1873, the Supreme Court recognized, for the first time, the legal prevalence of the rights set forth in the Federal Constitution over state authorities.
