> You do have the right to travel. The constitution does not specify a mode

The constitution does not specify the first bit either; it's all been inferred by court rulings [0]

I'm aware, my view is the court's current views are incomplete. Courts can be wrong.

What draws the most interest is the right to enter states freely. Combine that with the need to travel and participate in commerce and you quickly arrive at the conclusion the right to travel in general must also be protected, and indeed we can see the hardships brought upon people when they are unable to drive, etc.


Good luck arguing your opinion though - go watch a few videos of "sovereign citizens" trying to argue they don't need a driver's license to "travel" when pulled over driving.


Always remember the Ninth Amendment: the rights enumerated in the constitution are not more real than the rights which were not explicitly listed.
