Griswold v. Connecticut
★ Question:
○ Does the Constitution protect the right of marital privacy against state
restrictions on a couple's ability to be counseled in the use of
contraceptives?
★ Conclusion:
○ Though the Constitution does not explicitly protect a general right to
privacy, the various guarantees within the Bill of Rights create penumbras,
or zones, that establish a right to privacy.
○ Together, the First, Third, Fourth, and Ninth Amendments, create a new
constitutional right, the right to privacy in marital relations. The
Connecticut statute conflicts with the exercise of this right and is therefore
null and void.
