Answer: 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.
