Selective incorporation is the name of the game. It wasn't until 1925 that the courts actually ruled that states must comply with the 14th Amendment at all, but that was only related to free speech. The 7th and 8th Amendments still aren't fully incorporated by the states to this day.
To keep with the theme of the thread, today in 1936 Hitler brook the Treaty of Versailles by sending troops into the Rhineland.
Yeah they just wanted it in writing.
