Connecticut vs. Griswold
I recently wrote my research paper about the surpreme court case Connecticut vs. Griswold, in which two people, Griswold, who was the Executive Director of the Planned Parenthood League of Connecticut and her medical direcor from the leauge, appealed the 200 dollar fine against them. They said it was against "maritial privacy" which was never used before in a court case. To prove that it was against maritial privacy, they took the 9th amendment penumbras which was the zone of privacy, which is inferred in the statement “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. (Bill of rights, Amendment IX)” They also combined this with the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 14th Amendment. The surpreme court discussed and said that the right to maritial privacy was valid and this case later gave the use of rights of privacy to any court case.
