Definition(s)
- The right of privacy is not expressly mentioned in the Constitution but has nevertheless been found by the Supreme Court in the penumbra—the shadows—of other expressly guaranteed rights. In a decision that would have made Chief Justice John Marshall proud of the Court's ability to reason outside the narrow framework of the rights explicitly guaranteed in the Constitution, the Court in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) found state laws banning the use of contraceptives by married couples to be an unconstitutional invasion of protected natural and fundamental rights.
