The Constitution of the United States does not have a specific section that explicitly states equal status and power for all states. However, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment ensures that no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Additionally, Article IV, Section 1 (the Full Faith and Credit Clause) requires states to respect the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of other states, promoting a sense of equality among them.
