Before 2015 Privileges and Immunities The Privileges and Immunities Clause is the constitutional provision prohibiting state governments from discriminating against the citizens of other states. Extradition Extradition is the return from one state to another of a person accused of a crime. Independent State Powers The advocates of states’ rights believe that the 10th Amendment protects the rights of states against federal power. In practice, the 10th Amendment has not been a major barrier to the growth of federal government authority. It DOES NOT trump the national supremacy clause. Concurrent and Reserved Powers Concurrent powers are the powers of government that are jointly exercised by the national government and state governments. Reserved powers are the powers of government left to the states. Quiz A suspect in a murder case was apprehended in New Orleans. Texas authorities want the man returned to Texas.
