You are NOT terribly smart: AI Overview The U.S. Constitution, while not explicitly mentioning "travel," is interpreted by the Supreme Court to guarantee a fundamental right to interstate travel. This right, rooted in the 14th Amendment’s Privileges or Immunities Clause, Article IV’s Privileges and Immunities Clause, and the Commerce Clause, protects the ability to enter/leave states, visit other states, and establish residency. Key Aspects of the Constitutional Right to Travel: Interstate Movement: The right to freely move between states is recognized as a fundamental right of citizenship. Three Components (Saenz v. Roe): The Supreme Court has defined this right as having three parts: (1) entering and leaving another state, (2) being treated as a welcome visitor rather than a stranger when temporarily visiting, and (3) for those who become permanent residents, being treated equally to native-born citizens. Protection from Discrimination: States cannot impose unreasonable burdens or residency requirements that restrict new residents from accessing benefits (like welfare or medical care) on the same basis as long-term residents. Implicit Right: The right to travel exists regardless of whether it is explicitly written, often considered part of the "privileges or immunities" of citizenship. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt14-S1-8-13-2/ALDE_00000840/ Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
