A quick definition of Unincorporated:

Unincorporated: Not formed into a legal corporation or mixed with something else. In constitutional law, an unincorporated amendment of the U.S. Constitution only applies to the federal government and does not limit the power of state governments. This is because the language of these amendments has not been recognized as being mixed in with the language and intent of the Fourteenth Amendment.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Not incorporated. Specifically:

  1. An organization that has not been formed into a legal corporation.
  2. Not combined or mixed with something else.

In constitutional law, an unincorporated amendment of the U.S. Constitution is one that only applies to the federal government and does not limit the power of state governments. These amendments have not been incorporated because their language has not been recognized as being mixed into the language and intent of the Fourteenth Amendment.

For example, the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is unincorporated, meaning that it only applies to the federal government and not to state governments. This means that states can create their own laws regarding gun ownership and use, as long as they do not violate the Second Amendment as it applies to the federal government.
