When the fourteenth amendment stated that the state shall not make or enforce a law that deprived life, liberty or property, it was the beginning of more incorporated rights. Gitlow v New York continued this by extending more freedoms to individuals and sort of opening up the idea of cases causing more incorporation?

Incorporation is the process by which the Supreme Courts upholds portions of the Bill of Rights to the states. The 14th Amendment expanded civil rights protection by extending federal powers to the states. In Gitlow vs. New York, free speech and press was protected and made the state follow the 1st amendment.

The 14th Amendment says that states can't infringe on the rights of citizens, incorporation forces states to grant their residents the same rights as they have in the Bill of Rights, and Gitlow v. New York was a Supreme Court ruling that applied Constitutional protections to the states as well as the federal government. All three of these things have the state governments regulate themselves and give freedoms in the same way the federal government does in the Bill of Rights.

The 14th amendment directly addressed the states, unlike the other amendments, which regulate Congress. The states had to let people be citizens under the amendment, but in other amendments the states didn't have to regulate.
Gitlow v. New York opened the door to amendment rights being extended to the states. Only included freedom of speech and press in the first amendment.

As mentioned in the Crash course video, the 14th amendment could have been replaced with with legislation that stated that all liberties mentioned in the Bill of Rights should be applied to the states, however the reason that it was not was to grant the federal government the ability to selectively apply certain liberties to the states on a case-by-case basis. Gitlow v. New York was one such case. The Supreme Court ruled that the state of New York could not infringe on the defendants First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Although new York was the state represented in this case, the ruling applies to all states.

*the 14th amendment implies total incorporation, but was interpreted as selective incorporation (Gitlow v NY)

Extended the freedom of speech and press to states, not just the national government. That incorporation now applies to all states. If one state incorporates a right, then all citizens in any state are protected by those same freedoms by their state

The 14th amendment states "No state shall make or enforce any law..." which essentially shows that the Bill of Rights now applies to the states (total incorporation). In Gitlow v. New York 1925, specific parts of the Bill of Rights could now be incorporated. For example, freedom of speech and freedom of press, were selectively incorporated to the states.

The 14th amendment extended the Bill of Rights to the states by mimicking the language saying "No state shall make or enforce any law..." similar to "Congress shall make no law." It protects the citizens from their state governments overstepping the constitution. Gitlow v New York specifically selectively incorporated free speech and press to the states. I am still confused why the needed Gitlow v New York if they had the 14th amendment.

Incorporation is the process of applying the Bill of Rights into the state governments. Originally, the Bill of Rights only kept Congress from making a law that limited the rights of citizens. After Gitlow v. New York, the government began to incorporate those rights on a case by case basis into the states. The Fourteenth Amendment extended these rights to citizens of the states, both born and naturalized.
