How about the seventh amendment? Obviously the 14th does not incorporate it yet your cite says the first 8 amendments are incorporated by the 14th.

Do you believe in the tooth fairy as well?

Now, you tell me when the "total incorporation" theory of the 14th as applied to the BOR came into being. I'm curious as to just how conversant you are in the subject.

Don't you believe that the 7th Amendment applies to states? SCOTUS does. CAPITAL TRACTION CO. v. HOF, 174 U.S. 1 (1899)

Do you believe in the tooth fairy as well?

From someone who believes in fantastical legal arguments and mythical constitutional theories, that's an odd question to ask.

What's my prize for answering your quiz?
