I'm in the United States but my questions are regarding the right to travel with my property from point A to point B under constitutional law
Sure, Tom. In the U.S.:
- The Constitution does not explicitly guarantee the right to travel.
- However, the Supreme Court has established that the right to travel is a part of the "liberty" of which a citizen cannot be deprived without the due process of law.
- Your property rights are also protected under the Fifth Amendment.

The link you shared is an article, not a Supreme Court ruling. As per my knowledge, the Supreme Court hasn't ruled that a driving license isn't required. Licensing requirements are set by state laws. Please consult your local DMV or a legal expert for advice.
