To determine which statement about the incorporation doctrine is true, we can eliminate the options one by one.
First, the statement "It allows a state to deny due process to its citizens" is false. The incorporation doctrine does the opposite by requiring states to provide due process rights to their citizens.
Second, the statement "It allows states to establish a state religion" is also false. The incorporation doctrine, as established by the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, prohibits states from establishing a state religion.
Third, the statement "It applies to all of the first 10 amendments" is incorrect. The incorporation doctrine applies the protections of select provisions from the Bill of Rights to state governments, not all of them.
Finally, the statement "It applies parts of the Bill of Rights to state governments" is true. The incorporation doctrine is based on the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause and applies certain fundamental rights from the Bill of Rights to state governments, protecting individual liberties.
Therefore, the correct statement about the incorporation doctrine is: "It applies parts of the Bill of Rights to state governments."
Moving on to the next question, the Supreme Court case that held that the First Amendment rights of free speech applied to the states as well as the national government was Gitlow v. New York. So, the correct answer is: "Gitlow v. New York."
Regarding the main concern addressed by the Fourteenth Amendment, the correct choice is "civil rights of former slaves." The purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment, passed in the aftermath of the Civil War, was to grant equal protection under the law and due process rights to all individuals, including former slaves.
Therefore, the main concern addressed by the Fourteenth Amendment is the "civil rights of former slaves."
