Privileges and immunities re liberty and ability to earn living.

• A. Affects both individuals and corporations equally
• B. Requires facial discrimination against out-of-staters and applies only to individuals
• C. Prohibits any discrimination against out-of-staters
• D. Relates to liberty and ability to earn living as the basis for PI

Answer: (B)

The Privileges and Immunities Clause protects nonresidents from discriminatory treatment by a state when it comes to fundamental rights, like earning a living. It applies to individuals, not corporations, and it targets laws that facially distinguish out-of-staters in pursuing basic livelihood rights. So the best statement captures that this doctrine bars facial discrimination against nonresidents and applies to people, not to corporate entities. States may regulate occupations in general, but they can’t sentence nonresidents to unequal treatment in the core right to earn a living simply because they’re from another state.
