The Incorporation Doctrine has been used to apply the Bill of Rights to the states and not just to the federal government. Explain how the Incorporation Doctrine serves to safeguard individual rights. Give examples of the freedoms it protects, and at least one specific example of when it has been used. Please keep your answer short
The Incorporation Doctrine serves to safeguard individual rights by extending the protections of the Bill of Rights to the states. This ensures that individuals have their fundamental freedoms protected regardless of whether they are dealing with the federal or state government. For example, the First Amendment right to free speech has been incorporated and protects individuals' speech rights from infringement by state governments. The Supreme Court case of Gitlow v. New York in 1925 was a specific example where the Incorporation Doctrine was used to apply the First Amendment's protection against state action and upheld the defendant's right to freedom of speech.
