Answer

The answer is c. Prohibition against excessive bail

Explanation
Option a: A compulsory process for obtaining witnesses

The right to a compulsory process for obtaining witnesses is incorporated into state proceedings through the Fourteenth Amendment. This right is part of the Sixth Amendment, which has been applied to the states.

Option b: Right to a public trial

The right to a public trial is also incorporated into state proceedings through the Fourteenth Amendment. This right is part of the Sixth Amendment and has been applied to the states.

Option c: Prohibition against excessive bail

The prohibition against excessive bail is part of the Eighth Amendment. While the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment has been incorporated to apply to the states, the specific provision regarding excessive bail has not been explicitly incorporated by the Supreme Court to apply to state proceedings.

Option d: Protection against self-incrimination

The protection against self-incrimination is part of the Fifth Amendment and has been incorporated into state proceedings through the Fourteenth Amendment. This was established in the landmark case of Miranda v. Arizona.
