The Supreme Court has said....
"The right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, in the ordinary course of life and business, is a common right which he has under the right to enjoy life and liberty, to acquire and possess property, and to pursue happiness and safety. It includes the right, in so doing, to use the ordinary and usual conveyances of the day, and under the existing modes of travel, includes the right to drive a horse drawn carriage or wagon thereon or to operate an automobile thereon, for the usual and ordinary purpose of life and business." Teche Lines vs. Danforth, Miss., 12 S.2d 784; Thompson vs. Smith, supra.
ALTHOUGH....
The current system plays trickery with the Words they use in the STATE's Legislation concerning 'driving' and driver's license.
In their books the term is actualy defined in the law dictionary as trasporting freight or passengers for profit.
What you should be reffering to is "traveling", unless you are actually performing the task of 'driving'.
Requiring a license to 'travel' IS unconstitutional, but requiring one to 'drive' [meaning you do business on the roadways] IS legal and constitutional.
