Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
RECIPROCITY. Mutuality; state, quality or character of that which is
reciprocal.
2. The states of the Union are bound to many acts of reciprocity. The
constitution requires that they shall deliver to each other fugitives from
justice; that the records of one state, properly authenticated, shall have
full credit in the other states; that the citizens of one state shall be
citizens of any state into which they may remove. In some of the states, as
in Pennsylvania, the rule with regard to the effect of a discharge under the
insolvent laws of another state, are reciprocated; the discharges of those
courts which respect the discharges of the courts of Pennsylvania, are
respected in that state.
