a. majority
b. selective
c. applicable
d. concurrent

Answer 1

The answer is selective incorporation which is letter b. It is a principle written into the Constitution that safeguards American citizens from their states’ ratifying of laws that could break upon their rights. Selective incorporation is not an act or a law, but a doctrine that has been recognized and established time and again by the United States Supreme Court. Fundamentally, selective incorporation allows the federal government to place limitations on the states’ lawmaking power.
