Document Summary
We have both federal and state citizenship. Full faith in credit: states must recognize public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of other states. Privileges and immunities: must grant same legal rights (i. e. , right to travel, do business, establish residence) to citizens of other states that they grant to their citizens. Supremacy clause: constitution, law, and treaties of the united states shall be the supreme law of the land . Enumerated or exclusive powers: national powers that are specifically assigned by the constitution to the federal government e. g. , coin money, regulation of interstate commerce, the conduct of foreign affairs, declaring war, etc. Reserved power of states: power not delegated to the united states by the. Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people . Permits diversity of responses to different situations. Allows experimentation at state and local levels. High degree of complexity in policymaking and police implementation.
