Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. While the word "privacy" is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, the Supreme Court has recognized a right to privacy as an implied right within the penumbra of other constitutional protections, such as the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures and the First Amendment's protection of freedom of speech and association. This right to privacy has been particularly recognized in cases involving issues of sex, reproduction, and family life, such as Griswold v. Connecticut (contraception), Roe v. Wade (abortion), and Lawrence v. Texas (homosexuality).
