“The right of a citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, by horsedrawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will, but a common right which he has under his right to life, liberty and the pursuit ofhappiness.
The constitutional right to interstate travel is considered a fundamental right. But it is also an unenumerated right, meaning it is not explicitly stated in the Constitution. Instead, the Supreme Court established the right to travel based on its interpretation of several constitutional provisions.
Yes, the U.S Constitution indeed recognizes our right to travel. However, traveling does not equate to driving. In the Constitution's view, travel refers to moving freely between states, not the unlicensed operation of a vehicle. This point was strongly reinforced in Saenz v.
It's a little more complex than that. The Supreme Court has ruled that there is a fundamental right to travel between the states, and you do not need a drivers license to do so.
Constitutional freedom The U.S. Supreme Court in Crandall v. Nevada, 73 U.S. 35 (1868) declared that freedom of movement is a fundamental right and therefore a state cannot inhibit people from leaving the state by taxing them.
There is no explicit or enumerated right to travel in the US Constitution. It is, however, considered to be a Ninth Amendment right, similar to the right to vote and the former right to abortion.
While rights like freedom of speech, religion, and assembly are inherent and unalienable, driving is not on this list. It's not an inherent right, but a privilege granted by the state – a privilege that comes with rules and regulations, crucially including a driver's license and vehicle registration.
