While there is a vast amount of scholarship on the US Constitution,
very little of it addresses Article IV. The article's first section,
the Full Faith and Credit Clause, requires that individual states must
respect "the public acts, accords, and judicial proceedings of every
other state," and the second section, the Privileges and Immunity
Clause, prevents one state from treating the citizens of another state
in a discriminatory manner. In Unifying the Nation, Joseph F.
Zimmerman provides a unique and comprehensive examination of court
cases pertaining to both sections. Article IV, he argues, is central
to the political and economic union of the individual states that
comprise the nation. Many of the court cases cited in the text have
tremendous day-to-day relevance and implications for the practice of
government, such as same-sex marriage, child adoption, child support,
public welfare, health care, and telecommunications.
