Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ c. In Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court defined the right to privacy by incorporating the Fourth Amendment and the right of people to be secure; the self-incrimination clause of the Fifth Amendment; the Ninth Amendment; and the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ The right to privacy in the United States is derived from Supreme Court interpretations of the Constitution. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The right to privacy is not explicitly stated in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. However, the Supreme Court has interpreted various amendments as collectively providing a right to privacy. In the landmark case Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), the Court held that the Constitution implicitly guarantees citizens' right to privacy. The justices found that the right to privacy is protected by the penumbras, or shadows, cast by the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Ninth Amendments. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment has also been interpreted to protect the right to privacy from state infringement. ⚹◊How did the concept of privacy in the United States change over time in relation to historical events?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
