Question

the practice of selective incorporation means that the bill of rights will
o always be applied to the states by the court.
o never be applied to the states by the court.
o sometimes be applied to the court by the states.
o sometimes be applied to the states by the court.

Explanation:

Selective incorporation is a legal doctrine where the Supreme Court applies parts of the Bill of Rights to the states on a case - by - case basis. It is not an all - or - nothing (not always or never) application. The Court applies certain rights to the states (not the states applying to the Court), so the correct option is that the Bill of Rights sometimes be applied to the states by the Court.

Answer:

D. sometimes be applied to the states by the Court.
