Kent v. Dulles 357 U.S. 116 (1958) is a landmark case on the right to travel and passport restrictions as they relate to First Amendment free speech rights. It is the first case in which the US Supreme Court makes a distinction between the constitutionally protected substantive due process freedom of movement and the right to travel abroad (subsequently characterized as "right to international travel," see also Califano v. Aznavorian relative to area restrictions/foreign policy, e.g., travel to Cuba and Haig v. Agee relative to personal restrictions/national security.)
