The founding fathers did not have rules of the road to follow by any laws, did they? Maybe they could not travel with the plague, but what else would you consider that was similar to today's world?

What are you talking about? Perhaps you should quit posting once you start drinking your second bottle of fortified wine. Is English your first language?

What am I talking about? A response the following comment directed towards me.

"I wonder what Jefferson, Madison, Washington, Monroe, Henry would have said if they were told that they could be stopped on a public road, asked for their papers and searched?"

To which I replied:

In simpler English for you... today we have laws of the public road for safety, and even requirement of insurance, a license, a legal car and to be fit in order to drive our public roads. These laws are for public safety. Jefferson and others did NOT have the same high volume society to get around in, so had they lived now, I think they would have bitched some and then complied with the officers IMO.
