Which statement best describes the role of the Fourteenth Amendment in incorporation doctrine?
A
It prevents any federal review of state criminal law, reserving all civil liberties enforcement exclusively to state courts and legislatures.
B
It provides the Due Process Clause basis for applying many Bill of Rights protections to states, rather than requiring total incorporation automatically.
C
It mandates that states may restrict speech and religion more than Congress, because federalism requires unequal liberty standards across states.
D
It incorporates rights through the Presentment Clause, ensuring state laws are signed by the President before they can affect constitutional liberties.
E
It incorporates only the Second Amendment, because the Reconstruction Amendments were written solely to address firearms access for freedmen.
