ARTICLE IV
Section 1. Full faith and credit shall be given in each State to
the public act, records, and judicial proceedings of
every other State. And the Congress may, by general
laws, prescribe the manner in which such acts,
records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the
effect thereof.
Section 2. The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all
privileges and immunities of citizens in the several
States.
A person charged in any State with treason, felony,
or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and be
found in another State, shall, on demand of the
executive authority of the State from which he fled,
be delivered up, to be removed to the State having
jurisdiction of the crime.
No person held to service or labor in one State,
under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall,
in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be
discharged from such service or labor, but shall be
delivered up on claim of the party to whom such
service or labor may be due.
Section 3. New States may be admitted by the Congress into this
Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected
within the jurisdiction of any other State, nor any
State be formed by the junction of two or more
States, or parts of States, without the consent of
the legislatures of the States concerned as well as
of the Congress.
The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make
all needful rules and regulations respecting the
territory or other property belonging to the United
States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so
construed as to prejudice any claims of the United
States, or of any particular State.
Section 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in
this Union a republican form of government, and shall
protect each of them against invasion; and on
application of the legislature, or of the executive
(when the legislature cannot be convened), against
domestic violence.
