Explain how the Constitution protects the right to privacy. Then, describe how the Supreme Court's ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut upheld that right.

The right to privacy is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. Nevertheless, several Supreme Court rulings have confirmed it as a fundamental human right and therefore protected by the 9th Amendment.

The Griswold case (1965) overturned laws against birth control, judging them in breach of the right to marital privacy.

Explanation:

Justice William O. Douglas stated that constitutional protections such as the self-incrimination clause of the Fifth Amendment supported the idea of  aright to privacy. Justice Arthur Goldberg based his ruling in the Ninth Amendment , and both Justice Byron White and Justice John Marshall Harlan II held that privacy is preserved by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
