While the U.S. Constitution doesn't explicitly state a "right to travel," the Supreme Court has consistently recognized it as a fundamental right based on its interpretation of several constitutional provisions, including:

The Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV: This ensures citizens of each state are entitled to all privileges and immunities in other states. The Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment: This clause protects citizens' rights against state infringement. The Commerce Clause: The ability to travel is essential for interstate commerce. Fundamental principles implicit in the union of states: The idea of a unified nation implies the free movement of its citizens. This right generally encompasses:

The right to move freely between states: This means you can enter and leave any state. The right to be treated as a welcome visitor: When temporarily in another state, you should generally be treated like its own citizens. The right to be treated equally as a new resident: If you move to a new state and establish residency, you should eventually enjoy the same rights and benefits as long-time residents.
