So requiring an operators license to drive a motor vehicle on government owned and maintained roadway does not deny you your freedom to travel.
Also, you do not have any right to happiness in this country. You certainly have a right to pursue your happiness (within the law)but nowhere is it guaranteed you will achieve it.
ETA: If you look at the clarification part on the page from that first link you will see that the poster even states there is a clear legal distinction between "drive" and "travel".

Try flying without a pilots license and see how far that gets you.
I never said that you are guaranteed happiness, but that if the government decides to restrict you they can impede happiness. I am sorry but just because the Constitution or Bill of RIghts does not make mention of the right does not mean it is non-existent.

There in no mention anywhere of a right to be happy. :)

You are correct it was a misprint on my part. However if the government does deny their ability to travel it could be taken as an infringement.
