Abstract:
"In the first work of its kind, Incorporation of the Bill of Rights provides a detailed account of the Supreme Court's application of federal rights to the state level. Approaching the Bill of Rights amendment by amendment and right by right, Professor Gary Bugh's content analysis of Court opinions reveals what justices regard as the incorporation status and most relevant case for each right. Along with finding that the Court has incorporated nearly the entire Bill of Rights, Professor Bugh offers new insights into unincorporated rights and addresses the judiciary's various theoretical defenses for protecting civil liberties from state infringement. This definitive inventory of incorporated rights is an essential resource for law and government scholars, teachers, and practitioners at all levels of government"-- Provided by publisher.
