Full Faith and Credit Clause • Article IV, Section 1 states: “Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each state to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other state.” • Public Acts: Laws of the state. • Records: Documents like birth and marriage certificates. • Judicial Proceedings: Outcome of trials.

  3. Extradition • Article IV, Section 2: “A person charged in any state with treason, felony, or other crime who flees justice and is found in another state shall be delivered up to the state having jurisdiction of the crime.” • Translation: A fugitive who flees from law enforcement by crossing into another state, can be returned by that state to the original state where the crime was committed.
