Full Faith and Credit Clause

Read a random definition: twelve-month liquidation

A quick definition of Full Faith and Credit Clause:

The Full Faith and Credit Clause is a rule in the United States Constitution that says states must respect and follow the laws, official documents, and court decisions made by other states. This means that if someone gets married in one state, for example, that marriage is recognized as legal in all other states. It helps to ensure that people's rights and legal agreements are protected no matter where they go in the country.

A more thorough explanation:

The Full Faith and Credit Clause is a provision in the United States Constitution, specifically in Article IV, Section 1. This clause requires states to recognize and give legal effect to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of other states.

For example, if a couple gets married in one state, that marriage is recognized as valid in all other states. Similarly, if a person has a driver's license issued in one state, they can use that license to legally drive in any other state.

The Full Faith and Credit Clause helps to ensure that legal decisions made in one state are respected and enforced in other states. This promotes consistency and fairness in the legal system across the country.
