This article is about the constitutional limitations on state-court jurisdiction. The article discusses the relevant historical materials on the full faith and credit clause up to 1877, which is the year that the Pennoyer v. Neff decision occurred. The article ends with conclusions about the original meaning of the full faith and credit clause and suggestions of how the clause should be applied today.
