Question

How did Griswold v. Connecticut expand the protections of the Constitution?

Answer 1

The main way in which Griswold vs. Connecticut expand the protections of the Constitution is that the Supreme Court concluded that people under the Constitution had a right to privacy.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Constitution does not explicitly state that individuals have the right to privacy. The Constitution does explicitly say that the people have the rights to liberty, personal property, and to fair treatment with proper procedure before the law. The court’s opinion in Griswold was that the amendments of the Constitution, taken together, should be interpreted to mean that the government cannot intrude on matters that are private. In this way, the court expanded the protections of the Constitution to include an individual’s privacy
