equal protection

For the first blank (Amendment), in Duncan v. Louisiana, the Supreme Court ruled that the Sixth Amendment (right to a jury trial in criminal cases) could be incorporated to the states. For the second blank (clause of the Fourteenth Amendment), the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is used for incorporating Bill of Rights protections to the states. The "due process" clause ensures that states cannot deprive persons of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, and this is the mechanism for incorporation here. "Equal protection" is about non - discrimination, and "enforcement" is not the relevant clause for incorporation.
