ANSWER: 자유가 있다.
So then, why does Article 14 of the Korean Constitution read, "모든 국민은 거주, 이전의 자유를 가진다" instead of "모든 국민에게 원하는 곳에서 살다가 이사할 자유가 있다"?
And why does Article 15 read, "모든 국민은 직업 선택의 자유를 가진다" instead of "모든 국민에게 직업을 선택할 자유가 있다"?
In other words, why does the Korean Constitution read, "Every Korean citizen (모든 국민은) . . . has the right to (자유를 가진다)" instead of, "It is the right of every Korean citizen to (모든 국민에게 . . . 자유가 있다"?
Maybe the person or people who wrote the Korean Constitution got advice from American English speakers since "to have the right to" seems like the way most Americans would say it. For example, American cops usually say, "You have the right to remain silent" instead of "It is your right to remain silent."
