Why do Northern Americans not have to obey the law of Southern States?

They do have to obey those laws under certain circumstances. It depends where they are. If they are in a Southern state they must obey the laws in that state.Each state is a separate legal and political jurisdiction and all states have the legal right and obligation to adopt their own set of laws. Each state legislature has the power to enact laws in its own jurisdiction. A Northerner must obey the laws of any Southern state while they are in that state. A citizen from Maine, for example, does not have to obey the laws of Georgia, for example, as long as they stay in Maine and don't travel to Georgia. If the Maine resident travels to Georgia for a vacation, they must obey all the laws in Georgia while they are in that state.
