Hope this helps:
Good ol' Wikipedia has this on Article 4 of the Constitution:
"Clause One of Section 2 requires interstate protection of "privileges and immunities". The ambiguity of the clause has given rise to a number of different interpretations. Some contend that the clause requires Congress to treat all citizens equally. Others suggest that citizens of states carry the rights accorded by their home states when traveling in other states.
Neither of these theories has been endorsed by the Supreme Court, which has instead held that the clause means that a state may not discriminate against citizens of other states in favor of its own citizens."
