Question

understanding the supreme court decision
what was douglas’s reason for citing the first, third, and fourth amendments in his decision?
○ he said they guaranteed due process under the law.
○ he said they protected unenumerated rights.
○ he said they created zones of privacy.
○ he said they confirmed the connecticut law.

Explanation:

In the context of Supreme Court decisions (related to law, a subfield of Social Science), Justice Douglas, in cases like Griswold v. Connecticut, cited the First, Third, and Fourth Amendments to argue they create "zones of privacy" (e.g., Third Amendment's protection against quartering soldiers in homes, Fourth's against unreasonable searches, First's associational privacy). The other options: due process is more linked to Fifth/ Fourteenth; unenumerated rights are broader (like Ninth Amendment); and the Connecticut law was being challenged, not confirmed.

Answer:

C. He said they created zones of privacy.
