AWhat idea was the decision in Griswold v. Connecticut based upon?

Answer 2

Answer:

The decision in Griswold v. Connecticut was based in the idea that, if the Constitution forbids unreasonable searches, there must be a reasonable right to privacy.

Explanation:

Griswold v. Connecticut is a ruling by the Supreme Court that affirmed the constitutionality of the right to privacy. The subject of the case was a revision of Connecticut law prohibiting the sale of contraceptives.

The court almost unanimously acknowledged that the right to privacy is contained in the Constitution. However, since the guarantees of this right are not given in plain text, the judges disagreed as to which article of the Constitution should be guided in making the decision. In a convergent opinion, Arthur Goldberg based his decision on the basis of the Ninth Amendment. John Marshall Harlan and Byron White considered that the right to privacy was ensured by the right to a fair trial of the Fourteenth Amendment.
