Article IV, Section 2 was written and ratified before the BOR was even added to the constitution. How could it refer to something that wasn't there?

I didn't say it referred to the BOR. I said it encompassed the "rights recognized in the BOR".

You said earlier that Article IV essentially says that a state cannot treat a citizen of another state differently than their own.

How can that be if privileges and immunities do not encompass rights?

"I said it encompassed the "rights recognized in the BOR".

OK.

Article IV, Section 2 was written and ratified before the BOR was even added to the constitution. How could Article IV, Section 2 encompass the rights recognized in the BOR when the BOR didn't even exist?

"How can that be if privileges and immunities do not encompass rights?"

I said nothing about rights. I was talking about privileges and immunities. Did you miss that? Did you not understand that?

Article IV, Section 2 deals with privileges and immunities, not rights. I said when it comes to Article IV privileges and immunities, a state cannot treat a citizen of another state differently than their own.
