This is the law I would propose:
"No person shall be required to obtain a license to exercise his rights unless the state can demonstrate that it has is a compelling reason for requiring said license."
So do you need a license to open a beauty shop? If you color hair and use dies that are potentially dangerous I guess the answer would be yes.
Do you need a license to fish? Are you going to use dynamite? Overfish? Fail to return fish that are too large? Then I guess the answer would be yes.
Do you need a license to stand on a public sidewalk and talk to strangers? I can't think of a compelling reason. what if you want to stand on the steps of a building owned by the state? Hmmm, maybe?
Ok how about a license to get married? is it possible that you might create children? That you might leave an inheritance to said children? Then I would reluctantly say yes.
How about a license for two men to get married? I can think of no compelling reason that the state would want to restrict the right of two men or two women to get married with the ceremony of their choice.
