Question 9 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY

Which statement best explains the Privileges and Immunities clause of Article IV of the Constitution?

Answer
A
If a citizen of one state travels to another state, they are only expected to follow the laws of the home state.
B
States have the ability to create their own Bills of Rights that applies only to their citizens.
C
States have the right to apply laws differently to citizens of different states.
D
All Americans have the same basic rights, no matter what state they live in or travel to.

Explanation

The Privileges and Immunities Clause generally prevents a state from treating citizens of other states unfairly by denying them fundamental rights and privileges available to its own citizens. So the best choice is “All Americans have the same basic rights, no matter what state they live in or travel to.” It does not mean travelers follow only their home state’s laws; they must also obey the laws of the state they visit.
