Natural Rights and Granted Privileges

“To travel” is a natural right, and no legislation can be passed to strip you of your fundamental, inherent rights. As a sovereign being, you never need to surrender your rights and exchange them for privileges. This is the way societies descend into tyranny. To exchange a right for a privilege (or “constitutional right”) is to ask permission for something (in the form of a governmental permit or license) that you are free to do anyway.

A privilege (or “constitutional right”) is granted by some authority, and equally it can be taken away by some authority. A right can never be abrogated. Our right to travel can never be stripped from us. It is as fundamental to our existence as our right to breathe.

Even the US Supreme Court has acknowledged this.

  • CASE #1: “The use of the highway for the purpose of travel and transportation is not a mere privilege, but a common fundamental right of which the public and individuals cannot rightfully be deprived.” Chicago Motor Coach v. Chicago, 169 NE 221.
  • CASE #2: “The right of the citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, either by carriage or by automobile, is not a mere privilege which a city may prohibit or permit at will, but a common law right which he has under the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Thompson v. Smith, 154 SE 579.
  • CASE #3: “The right to travel is a part of the liberty of which the citizen cannot be deprived.” Kent v. Dulles, 357 US 116, 125.
  • CASE #4: “The right to travel is a well-established common right that does not owe its existence to the federal government. It is recognized by the courts as a natural right.” Schactman v. Dulles 96 App DC 287, 225 F2d 938, at 941.

It’s interesting that this woman bills herself as a “constitutional scholar.”
