The First Amendment has been fully incorporated through the application of the Fourteenth Amendment, under the doctrine of "selective incorporation." Gitlow v. New York, (1925) was the first case that applied a First Amendment Clause to the states.
The First, Second, Fourth and Sixth are the only Amendments the US Supreme Court has fully incorporated, as of 2010.
