Hendrick-v-Maryland
Movement claim: The right to travel upon public highways is a fundamental constitutional right that cannot be converted into a licensable privilege; state driver licensing applies only to commercial use of the highways and is unconstitutional as applied to private personal automobile operation — foreclosed (with the doctrinal seed acknowledged)
The historical commercial-versus-private highway-use distinction is real. The natural-rights doctrinal seed is real. Every modern court has upheld licensing anyway under rational-basis review. Hendrick v. Maryland (1915) does the operative-law foreclosure, and the movement's traffic-court filing strategy guarantees the foreclosure bites at the tribunal least able to engage the underlying question.
Movement claim: A driver's license is a 'title of nobility' prohibited by U.S. Const. Art. I, § 10 because it grants special privileges to a nominated class at the expense of the general public — foreclosed
Article I § 10 forbids titles of nobility — meaning hereditary aristocratic rank, the kind the founders rejected after the Revolution. A driver's license available to anyone who passes the road test is not aristocratic rank. The movement's syllogism would invalidate every occupational license in the country (law, medicine, plumbing, real estate). No court has ever read the clause that broadly, because the reading is incoherent.
