The Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article IV, Section 1) requires states to recognize the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. Among the options provided, the one that citizens can legally do because of the Full Faith and Credit Clause is:
**Drive a car in one state with a driver’s license from another state.**
This clause ensures that a driver's license issued in one state is recognized as valid in other states.
The other options do not pertain to the Full Faith and Credit Clause:
- **Paying income taxes for a state where you don’t live if their taxes are lower** is subject to the tax laws and agreements between states, not the Full Faith and Credit Clause.
- **Refusing to serve people in a business based on their lifestyle** relates to anti-discrimination laws and does not involve the Full Faith and Credit Clause.
- **Telling lies about a political leader** is addressed in terms of freedom of speech but is not relevant to the Full Faith and Credit Clause.
