Article IV outlines the powers given to state governments.

Explanation:

Article IV describes the relationship between the states and the federal government and between the states themselves. For example, this requires states to give "full faith and credit" to public acts, records and processes of other states. It allows Congress to regulate the manner of proving such acts, records or acts, and the effects thereof. The "privileges and immunities" clause prohibits state governments from discriminating against citizens of other states in favor of resident citizens (for example, imposing heavier penalties on Ohio residents convicted of crimes committed in Michigan).
