Summarize the differences among the fundamental fairness, total incorporation, and selective incorporation doctrines as they influence state criminal procedures
What will be an ideal response?
Below is an example of a correct answer to this question. There are other ways to answer the question that may also be correct.
The fundamental fairness doctrine focused on general fairness. Under this doctrine states could largely define their own criminal procedures, as long as they did not offend fundamental rights.
Under the total incorporation doctrine, all provisions of the Bill of Rights were considered incorporated into the Fourteenth Amendment due process clause and thus applicable to the states. Under this doctrine, states in a criminal justice system would have to follow identically all those rights guaranteed to the accused in federal criminal proceedings.
Finally, the selective incorporation doctrine argued that some provisions of the Bill of Rights were incorporated into the notion of due process and thus applicable against the states, and some were not. When a right was considered so fundamental as to be incorporated into the due process clause and applied to the states, the states would have to apply that right exactly as it was in a federal criminal proceeding.
