Question

Think about how state laws would be affected if the entire Bill of Rights were incorporated. Would someone who felt that states should have the freedom to make their own laws support total incorporation or selective incorporation? Why? (1 point)

Answer 1

State laws might not be affected by incorporating part of the Bill of Rights.

So selective incorporation of Bill of Rights by states would help people protect their civil liberties.

Answer 2

Someone who felt that states should have the freedom to make their own laws would support selective incorporation, as the incorporation of the Bill of Rights in its entirety would go against the liberties of the states in the matters of the establishment of their own laws.
