Answer:

The 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery march was an important milestone in the civil rights movement because it vividly illustrated the continued resistance to black civil rights in the Deep South.

Explanation:

On Sunday, March 7, 1965, 600 civil rights activists and voting rights activists gathered in Selma to march to Montgomery. The march went well until it reached the Edmund Pettus Bridge. On the other side was a police chain. One of the leaders of the march, Pastor Hosea Williams, tried to talk to the police officer but was told that there was nothing to discuss. Immediately thereafter, the police attacked with batons and tear gas. Seventeen of the march participants suffered serious injuries and one of these was Amelia Boynton Robinson. Pictures of how she was beaten and saved by her friends ended up on the front page of newspapers all over the world. The attack was also filmed by TV, and police brutality aroused sympathy and support not only for the participants in the march but for the entire American civil rights movement.

Answer:

B. applying most Bill of Rights protections to state governments.

Explanation:

Incorporation, according to United States law is simply the way sections of the Bill of Rights are applied to state level instead of only federal level.

Before the 20th Century, most notably in 1833, the Supreme Court ruled that the Bill of Rights applied only to federal legal and not at state level. Also in 1876, the Supreme Court also ruled that the First and Second Amendment didn't apply to the state level.

However, from the early 1900s, there were decisions taken by the Supreme Court which interpreted that the Fourteenth Amendment was to incorporate many parts of the Bill of Rights and for the first time, it was applicable to state governments.
