The Right to Privacy

The Right to Privacy


Like 'separation of church and state', this does not exist as text in the Constitution. 

However, the Court has upheld its belief that Americans have a right to privacy through their interpretation of the 4th, 5th, 9th, and 14th Amendments.

Review:
Fourth : protection against unreasonable search & seizure
Fifth : protection against self-incrimination; due process
Fourteenth : selective incorporation; due process
