I don't have a cite, but a dl is a privledge, no a right, rights are defined by the bill of rights.

agree, a right to travel, but no right to drive. Well, I guess you do have a right to drive, as long as you keep your driving to your own property, or perhaps (?) as long as you don't drive on a public road.

What is a "right" and what is a "privilege"?

Very easy answer...

Regardless of the activity or thing........ if you have to have to ask permission, like qualify for a license (drivers license or concealed pistol license for example), then it is a privilege.

And a "privilege"... unlike a "right"... can have the permission removed and the "privilege" can no longer be engaged in.
