Please show me where in the Constitution this "incorporation" theory comes from. Might also be a good idea to read Article VI.

"Incorporation" comes from the 14th amendment, requiring states to respect the Bill Of Rights. Unfortunately, SCOTUS has decided that each Right can only be deemed "incorporated" if a relevant case makes it to SCOTUS and they decide that the 14th Amendment applies to that right.
