Input: Passage: 'Incorporation, in United States law, is the doctrine by which portions of the Bill of Rights have been made applicable to the states. When the Bill of Rights was first ratified, courts held that its protections only extended to the actions of the federal government and that the Bill of Rights did not place limitations on the authority of state and local governments. However, in the post-Civil War era, beginning in 1865 with the Thirteenth Amendment-declaring the abolition of slavery-gave rise to the incorporation of other Amendments, providing more rights to the states and people over time. Gradually, various portions of the Bill of Rights have been held to be applicable to state and local governments by incorporation through the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, and the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870.'. Question: 'how does constitutional doctrine of incorporation extend the bill of rights to the state governments'.
