Preferred term

freedom of movement  

Definition(s)

  • Neither the 1787 Constitution of the United States nor any ratification since mentions anything specific about a right to move or travel within the country or beyond its borders (Article I, Clause 6 recognizes the right of national legislators to travel to and from Congress). Nevertheless, the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized this right as a part of U.S. law, and it is also an important part of international law.
