Final answer:

Incorporating Supreme Court decisions extended the Bill of Rights to state governments through selective incorporation.


Explanation:

Supreme Court decisions incorporating the Bill of Rights led to the selective incorporation of many protections of the Bill of Rights applying to state governments. This process ensures that constitutional amendments implicit to due process are incorporated into the Fourteenth Amendment's protections and thus applied to the states, leading to constitutional safeguards extending beyond just the federal government.
