Rights, Not Privileges

“No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefor.” –Murdock v.
Pennsylvania, 319 US 105, US Supreme Court, 1943.

The U.S. Supreme Court broadly and unequivocally held that requiring licensing or registration of any constitutional right is itself unconstitutional. –Follett vs. Town of
McCormick, S.C., 321 U.S. 573 [1944]
