of immigrants to enter or leave a place of their choosing strip away a
fundamental right possessed by every human being.

Commentary to X 1.7.3
Truly the present
decision is contrary to ius and natural
liberty (naturalis
libertas) and cannot be held. For a
disposition of ius that infringes upon
natural liberty cannot be admitted. The
present disposition infringes upon natural
liberty and cannot be sustained. First we
may prove the minor thesis: a disposition that anyone may not leave a
certain place or a certain city infringes upon
natural liberty.
