Question

article 4 of the constitution
article 4 of the constitution focuses on the relationships
between the states and between the states and the federal
government, which often conflicted under the articles of
confederation.

the relationships of laws between states are governed by
multiple clauses found in article 4 of the constitution: the
full faith and credit clause and the privileges and
immunities clause.

• full faith and credit clause: this clause stipulates

that all states’ laws and legal proceedings (like
marriage) must be upheld in any other state. likewise,
if someone commits a crime in one state, moving to
another state will not free them from conviction in the
original state.

• privileges and immunities clause: according to this

clause, citizens must be treated equally across all
states yet possess their own state’s privileges.

what happens if someone breaks a law in
one state and flees to another state?

• they will still face charges in the original state.
• they will be tried in the new state.
• they may receive asylum in the new state.

Explanation:

Under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of Article 4 of the U.S. Constitution, legal proceedings and criminal charges from one state are upheld across states. Fleeing to another state does not exempt a person from charges originating in the state where the crime was committed; extradition processes ensure they face those original charges.

Answer:

They will still face charges in the original state.
