Answer 2

Answer:

The Privileges and Immunities Clause

Explanation:

The Privilege and Immunity Clause is a guideline in the United States Constitution that protects citizens born in one state who need to move, or do something in another state. This clause prohibits local citizens of one state from acting with prejudice or discretion with citizens of other states. An example of a breach of this clause was shown in the question above when someone attempted to promote a law that required non-residents of Delaware to obtain 100 points higher in the Bar Association Examination than residents.
