The amendment that has been used, under the Incorporation Doctrine, to apply the Bill of Rights to the states is the Fourteenth Amendment.
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the concept of incorporation. The Incorporation Doctrine is the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment that applies certain provisions of the Bill of Rights to the states through the Due Process Clause. This means that the rights protected by the Bill of Rights are not only applicable to the federal government but also to state governments.
Hence, the answer to the question is the Fourteenth Amendment.
