  1. Tammy Xia, Chris Hartin, ArenBerkenbush, Daniel Mullavelil Article IV: Relations Among States

  2. The Main Idea of the Article • The relationships between the states and how states interact each other.

  3. The Main Idea of the Article • Sec 1: Each state is required to recognize the laws, records and court rules of the other states. • Sec.2: Citizens are guaranteed to be treated equally like all citizens of another. If a person is accused of a crime and flees to another state, he/she would be returned to where he/she came from. Slaves who escaped for freedom were required to be sent back to their owners and the state the slave went to cannot free him/her. • Sec.3: New states were to be admitted by Congress but no new state could be formed/erected within the Jurisdiction of any other state. The Congress has all power on territory and property belonging to US. • Sec.4: Guaranteed Republican Form of Government; every state should be protected from invasion. Application of Legislature/Executive is against domestic violence.

  4. The Most Important Section/Clause • The clause from section 4 is the most important one. It ensures a republican form of government, which, in other words, a representative democracy instead of a monarchial form. The states derive their powers from people, and federal government will protect the states from invasion or insurrection. This clause determines the fundamental essence of a country.

  5. Constitutional Principles • Federalism (Division of Power) Explain: Each state has its own laws and powers (section1: “Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records and judicial Proceedings of every other State.”) • Republicanism Explain: Section 4, where it says the United States guarantees all states are based on republic forms (“the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government”)
