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

    The Bill of Rights limited the rights of the federal government to protect individuals from the federal government. However, it didn't directly prevent the state governments from violating or regulating those rights. Selective incorporation means that the Supreme Court can rule that a state law is unconstitutional if it violates the fundamental rights of the Bill of Rights. This means if a case comes to the Supreme Court, they can decide if the state has violated the Bill of Rights and therefore the law should be overturned.

    Some famous cases that have led to the incorporation of fundamental rights are McDonald v. Chicago, Roe v. Wade, Tinker v. Des Moines, and Gideon v. Wainwright. All of these cases challenged the state laws as being an overstep on the rights of the citizens. In all cases, the Supreme Court ruled the right in question was fundamental and therefore must be followed by the state.
