Question

Consider the following scenario: Joe Pretend is traveling from California to his home in Texas. While he is in the middle of Arizona he stops to fill up his car with gas at a 7-11 in Phoenix. Steve Badguy jumps in Joe's car and drives away. Joe comes out of the 7-11 to find his car missing. Joe walks to the local police station for help. Officer Smith tells Joe that since he is not a citizen of the state of Arizona they cannot help him. How does the Constitution protect Joe? What clause in article IV helps Joe in this situation? (4 sentences)

Answer 1

The Constitution protects Joe in this situation by requiring that he be treated with the same rights as citizens of California according to Section 2 of Article IV.

Section 2 of Article IV

• Outlines the rights and priviledges of citizens in various states.
• States that citizens of the U.S. will have the same rights in a state as citizens of that state.

Joe therefore has the same rights as a California citizen which means that the police have to help him in this situation.
