Definition: Process by which US courts have applied portions of the BOR to the states. What part of the 14 th Amendment led to incorporation? Explain how. The Due Process clause of the 14 th Amendment forbids states to deny any citizen life, liberty or property without due process of law. Are there other important parts to the 14 th Amendment? Yes. The equal protection clause prevents states from passing discriminatory laws and forces them to treat all people equal.
