"then what required states to protect the fundamental rights of citizens of other states that it recognized for its own citizens?"

In 1787, did the states protect the fundamental rights of citizens of other states that it recognized for its own citizens? If they did, I assume it was under their state constitution.

But in your view of privileges and immunities, they were not required to do so. Does it not seem absurd that the Constitution would require a state to entitle the citizens of other states to its privileges and immunities, but not its fundamental rights?
