License vs. Liberty (Part 2): Who Really Has Authority Over Your Right to Travel?

In this episode of Unchained Frequency, we continue the deep dive into the difference between a state-granted license and the God-given, constitutionally recognized Right to Travel.

This isn’t theory — we’re working with legal definitions, case law, and statutory interpretation.

We examine:

• Motor Vehicle Code vs. Common Right of Locomotion
• The difference between “operating a motor vehicle” (commercial) vs. “traveling” (private)
• Definitions of “person” in:
  • Black’s Law Dictionary
  • Bouvier’s Law Dictionary
  • and corporate legal meaning
• The role of the Tenth Amendment and reserved powers of the states
• Marbury v. Madison (1803) — judicial review and why statutes cannot override constitutional rights
• Article VI, Clause 2 — The Supremacy Clause and why the Constitution remains the highest law
• Why states regulate transportation only when there is commercial activity
• And real-world examples of courts acknowledging the fundamental Right to Travel.
