Which amendment gives you the right to drive any vehicle on the road?
In MO, some counties have no issue with sensible operation of ATVs on the roads. Others, you will have issues. In towns or cities, will not work. Tourist areas? No. But if you live in a farming area, it looks like they are treated like tractors, because farmers work with them.
The constitution is about limits on the government, not limits on the people. Your question is reversed, it isn't about what amendment gives me the right to drive any vehicle on the road, the question is what amendment gives the government the authority to demand all vehicles be registered? Certainly horses and buggies weren't registered back in the day, so why must a motor vehicle?
Granted registration is a state issue, not federal but the point remains. What use does vehicle registration actually serve for owners? Is it a registry for proof of ownership? Ensuring the vehicle passes smog? Paying of highway taxes? Sure, these might be beneficial to both individual and state but then all of these reasons happen to come with a "fee" or "tax" of some sort that have very little to do with the functional aspect of driving a vehicle down a road.
The founding fathers likely would have laughed their tails off if someone then had suggested they add a requirement in the Constitution that all horses and buggies needed to be registered, smogged (they want to do it with cows, don't think horses aren't next) and insured before you go ride down the public right of way...
