Discuss and explain the full faith and credit clause, and provide examples of its application.
What will be an ideal response?
The full faith and credit clause is a state-to-state obligation and stems from Article IV, Section 1 of the Constitution. It asserts that each state must recognize as legally binding-valid and enforceable-the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. An example is driver's licenses; another would be residency-based voting rights.
