Which of the following is the name of the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment that requires states, in addition to the federal government, to follow the Bill of Rights?
fedralism doctrine
supreme doctrine
incorporation doctrine
civil liberties doctrine
The correct answer is incorporation doctrine.
The name of the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment that requires states, in addition to the federal government, to follow the Bill of Rights is the "incorporation doctrine."
The name of the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment that requires states, in addition to the federal government, to follow the Bill of Rights is the incorporation doctrine.
To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate the options that are incorrect.
First, let's consider "federalism doctrine." Federalism refers to the division of power between the national government and state governments. While federalism is an important concept in understanding the relationship between the federal government and the states, it does not specifically deal with the requirement for states to follow the Bill of Rights.
Next, we have "supreme doctrine." This term does not accurately describe the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment in question. The "Supreme Doctrine" is not a commonly used term in constitutional law or the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Finally, we have "civil liberties doctrine." While civil liberties play a crucial role in constitutional law, the term itself does not specifically describe the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment that requires states to follow the Bill of Rights.
Therefore, the correct answer is "incorporation doctrine." The incorporation doctrine holds that the protections and rights outlined in the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution) are extended to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This doctrine ensures that state governments are also bound by the same constitutional rights as the federal government.
