Question
what idea was the decision in griswold v. connecticut based upon?
if the constitution forbids self - incrimination, husbands and wives should not be forced to testify against each other.
the constitution cannot possibly include all rights, so judges can create new ones based on what the founders must have been thinking.
if the constitution forbids unreasonable searches, there must be a reasonable right to privacy.
the constitution does not meet everyones needs, so citizens can disregard laws when they think the government is violating their rights.
In Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court held that the Constitution's protections imply a right to privacy. The case involved a Connecticut law banning the use of contraceptives. The Court reasoned that while the right to privacy is not explicitly stated in the Constitution, it is implied by other constitutional protections. For example, the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures implies that there is a realm of privacy. The Court used this line of reasoning to strike down the Connecticut law as it violated the implied right to privacy in marital relations.
