You stated that "travel upon a privately-held common carrier is not a constitutional right."They were laid out in the Declaration of Independence in their order of precedence. Rights are finite and begin with the individuals Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness. Everything we refer to as a Right falls into one of the the categories.
Since the Ninth Amendment says the people have rights which are not listed in the Constitution, who determines what is (or is not) one of those unlisted rights?
2. The Declaration of Independence does not say that rights are "finite." Both it and the 9th Amendment indicate there could be an infinite number of rights.
