A substantive due process right refers to the fundamental rights that individuals are entitled to under the due process clause of the Constitution. These rights involve the protection of certain fundamental liberties and have been recognized by courts as necessary for individuals' personal autonomy, freedom, and dignity. While the examples you listed could be considered important rights, not all of them fall under the category of substantive due process rights.

The right to drive is not generally considered a substantive due process right, as driving is a privilege that can be regulated by the government for the purpose of public safety. However, restrictions on driving based on arbitrary or discriminatory factors may infringe on substantive due process rights.

On the other hand, the right to own property is often recognized as a substantive due process right. This extends to both real property (land, homes) and personal property. Individuals have a constitutional protection against the government unlawfully taking or interfering with their property rights.

The right to own stock in a company is not typically considered a substantive due process right, as it falls more into the realm of economic or property rights.

Similarly, the right to go on vacation is not specifically recognized as a substantive due process right. While the freedom to travel may be protected under certain circumstances, it is not a universally recognized fundamental right.

In summary, while the right to own property is generally considered a substantive due process right, the other examples you mentioned may not fall into this category.
