Amendments of the American constitution Incorporation is a legal doctrine that refers to how the ten amendments of the American constitution became applicable through the substantive process and court procedures. In more finite terms it refers to the way that the Bill of Rights became indoctrinated as part of the legal frameworks that guide the legal court process. The Fourth amendment introduced a clause that allowed for due process to apply the ten amendments as a part of the legal frameworks in America. However, the application is only mandatory in federal cases with the state only having an obligation to apply them selectively based on the nature of the cases. The amendments that have been fully incorporated include the first, second, and fourth, amendments. For the fifth and sixth amendments, they are only partially incorporated meaning that they are applied selectively in some of the states. As such, this means that their application is based on the determination of the court. Precisely, some of the states may choose not to apply them in their judicial processes with no actual legal…

As a teacher, I usually have unique expertise with a reasonable nexus of understanding my students, especially student B and her demands of the content required. Within the education system, no one is in a better position to craft learning experiences that support our academic growth about our students within our classes. I feel that is one of the most important responsibilities we play as teachers though it is also a fantastic opportunity. If we come together as teachers and demand the position of designing our classroom desires, we get to take ownership of our planning and instruction. To some teachers, this idea may seem obvious, but in the view towards an age of standardized tests and mandated curricula, it may not be easy to achieve. Most of the teachers within the curriculum usually rely on survey texts to expose students to…
