Is Freedom to Move from One Country to Another a Right?

  If we were to list all the inalienable rights we suppose the founding fathers were referring to when they adopted the Declaration of Independence, the right to move about freely would be one of them. Indeed, back then there were no restrictions against moving to America. Can someone tell me if there were restraints on moving to England, or to France or to Germany? Back then, freedom of movement from one country to another was considered a natural right -- at least in the 13 colonies -- and I would not be surprised if elsewhere.
