Perhaps you should brush up on the 9th & 10th amendments to the constitution.

Shoonra is correct. It is YOUR position which lacks merit.
Perhaps
you should brush up on something. Namely, Hendrick v. Maryland, 235 U.S. 610 (1915), wherein the Supreme Court ruled that under their general police power, states may indeed require that all drivers be licensed and that all automobiles be registered. This case is sometimes cited by the court when a "sovereign" nutball argues he has an inherent right to drive on public roads with no license, tag, insurance, etc.
Any argument that "I have the right to drive on public streets without obeying the laws regarding driver licensing, registration and insurance because [insert your pet theory here]", is a guaranteed loser.
