Multiple - Choice Question

The Privileges and Immunities Clause of the Constitution (Article IV, Section 2) protects the rights of citizens of one state to enjoy the privileges and immunities of citizens in other states, including the right to buy or rent property. The Full Faith and Credit Clause is about recognizing legal proceedings from other states, not property rights for citizens. State law doesn't override the constitutional protection here, and citizens don't need to apply to each state for property rights. So option B is correct.

The National Government has several responsibilities toward the States. It must guarantee each State a republican form of government (to ensure democratic governance), protect States from invasion (external threats) and, upon request, from domestic violence (internal unrest). Also, it is responsible for admitting new States to the Union following the proper process.

First, a territory's population must petition Congress for statehood. Then, if Congress approves, the territory drafts a state constitution (which must be republican in form). After that, Congress votes on the admission, and if a majority in both houses approves, the President signs the act of admission, and the territory becomes a State.

Answer:

B. Yes, because her right to buy or rent property in any State is protected by the Privileges and Immunities Clause.
