How do you think the US might be different today if the Supreme court had not applied to the process of incorporation to the Due Process Clause?
If the Supreme Court had not applied the process of incorporation to the Due Process Clause, it's likely that certain provisions in the Bill of Rights would only apply to the federal government, and not to state governments. This would result in uneven protection of individual rights across the country, potentially leading to a patchwork of laws and regulations depending on the state. Additionally, it could limit the ability of individuals to seek redress for violations of these rights at the state level.
