Dk, EVERY state constitution has a provision allowing the legislature to pass laws for the public good and to protect the people.
Let's leave the Federal Constitution out of it because it is absolutely irrelevant since it cedes the right of local law to the states AND the federal government doesn't restrict driving anyway.
State legislatures have a duty to protect the citizens from harm. Please show me where in a state constitution building codes are specifically mentioned. I use this example because even libertarians can't object to those since they present no threat to the individual. The same theory that allows those codes also allows for the proper licensing of drivers. If you want to allow 7 year olds, the intoxicated, Alzheimers sufferers or those habitual violators of the rules of the road behind the wheel, then I never want to visit.
