“The right of a citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon,
by horsedrawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will, but a common right which he has under his right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Under this constitutional guaranty one may, therefore, under normal conditions,
travel at his inclination along the public highways or in public places, and while conducting himself in an orderly and decent manner,
neither interfering with nor disturbing another’s rights, he will be protected, not only in his person, but in his safe conduct.”
Thompson v. Smith, 154 SE 579, 11 American Jurisprudence, Constitutional Law, section 329, page 1135
“The right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, in the ordinary course of life and business, is a common right which he has under the right to enjoy life and liberty, to acquire and possess property, and to pursue happiness and safety.
It includes the right, in so doing, to use the ordinary and usual conveyances of the day, and under the existing modes of travel, includes the right to drive a horse drawn carriage or wagon thereon or to operate an automobile thereon, for the usual and ordinary purpose of life and business.” –

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW
1. Was Petitioner, John Dalen denied his Constitutionally-protected Common
Law right to travel where the State has converted the right to travel into a
privilege?
2. Was the Petitioner, John Dalen denied due process oflaw by the State
wherein the State ignored the Common Law principles of a crime and
prosecuted the Petitioner under Statutory Rules that circumvent the
United States Constitution and the Common Law?
3. Were Petitioner’s First Amendment rights violated by the state’s trial and
criminal conviction for not obtaining a driver’s license? The South Carolina
state statute requires applicants for a driver’s license to produce a Social
Security card in order to obtain said license. The federal Social Security
statutes do not require anyone to obtain a number unless that person is
requesting federal benefits. John Dalen rescinded his Social Security
number many years ago and no longer has a Social Security card, making it
impossible for him to comply with the state statute without compromising
his religious beliefs.
