ion of the laws of Minnesota, may
hold property here, and may engage in any business in which a citizen of
Minnesota may engage.

He cannot, however, carry with him any special privileges which he may
have enjoyed in the state from which he came. Thus, if one state permits a
person to vote upon declaring his intention to become a citizen while
another requires that a voter shall be a full citizen, a person coming
from the first state cannot claim the right to vote in the second until he
becomes a full citizen.

Study in this connection the first clause of the fourteenth amendment.

_Clause 2.--Fugitives from Justice._

_A person charged in any state with treason, felony or other crime, who
shall flee from justice, and be found in another state, shall, on demand
of the executive authority of the state from which he fled, be delivered
up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime._

The necessity for this provision will readily be understood, when it is
remembered that each state has jurisdiction only within its own limits.
But for this provision, criminals would be comparatively free from
restraint, because they could in most cases get into another state. And
this would of course tend to increase the number of criminals. (See pp.
337, 349.)

As civilization advances, countries independent of each other politically
agree, for their mutual protection, to surrender to each other fugitives
from justice. Treaties made for this purpose are called _extradition_
treaties.

_Clause 3.--Fugitives from Service._

_No person held to service or labor in one state, under the laws thereof,
escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation
therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered
up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due._

This clause was inserted as a concession to the slave-holding states, and
had special reference to slaves, though it also applied to apprentices and
any other persons who for any reason might be "bound to service." But as
slavery no longer exists, and apprenticeship and other binding to service
are almost things of the past, this provision is practically obsolete.

SECTION III.--NEW STATES AND TERRITORIES.

_Clause 1.--The Admission of New States._

_New states may be admitted by the congress into this Union;[1] but no new
state shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other
state;[2] nor sh
