Derecho no es privilegio

Lo publica un amigo en su FB.
Me impresionaron dos párrafos de fallos de la justicia norteamericana, que aparecen en los comentarios:

“No state shall convert a liberty into a license, and charge a fee therefore.”
(Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105)

“If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity.”
(Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham, Alabama, 373 U.S. 262)

Que lejos estamos.
