The Full Faith and Credit Clause ensures States honor court judgments of other States. For example, if I'm involved in a car accident in Colorado and a Colorado court awards me $1,000 in damages. But the defendant - the person who ran into me - lives in New Jersey and refuses to pay me. New Jersey will enforce the judgment from Colorado and help me collect my money.
