The Privileges and Immunities Clause of the [[U.S. Constitution]], Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1, protects citizens of one state who travel to another state.  This Clause protects their right to travel, access to courts, and equal treatment for nonresidents.  This clause reads, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."

The '''Privileges and Immunities Clause''' of the [[U.S. Constitution]], Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1, protects citizens of one state who travel to another state.  This Clause protects their right to travel, access to courts, and equal treatment for nonresidents.  This clause reads, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."

There is another Privileges and Immunities Clause in the [[Fourteenth Amendment]] to the [[U.S. Constitution]], but it has been almost meaningless for over a century.  In the ''Slaughter-House Cases'' (1873), the U.S. Supreme Court held that this clause protects only those rights "which owe their existence to the Federal government, its National character, its Constitution, or its laws."  Examples include the right "to come to the seat of government, ... the right of free access to its seaports, ... to the subtreasuries, land offices, and courts of justice in the several States ... to demand the care and protection of the Federal government ... when on the high seas or within the jurisdiction of a foreign government, ... to peaceably assemble the petition for redress of grievances, the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus, ... [t]he right to use the navigable waters, [and the right to] become a Citizen of any State of the Union by a bona fide residence therein, with the same rights as other citizens of that State."
