Key Cases for Incorporation (Nationalization) of the Bill of Rights

Remember:  create a one-page case brief for each judicial opinion that you are assigned to read in the course, including case briefs for judicial opinions that have been edited so that they are very short.

The case excerpts that follow briefly trace the history of the Bill of Rights and how individual rights originally written to protect people against the federal government eventually came to provide protections against the actions of state and local governments, too.
