After the Fourth Amendment was ratified in 1791, it established a constitutional protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, requiring law enforcement to obtain warrants based on probable cause. This amendment was part of the Bill of Rights and reflected the Founding Fathers' concerns over British abuses of power. In the ensuing years, its interpretation and application evolved through various court cases, helping to shape American privacy rights and law enforcement practices. Key legal precedents emerged that clarified the scope and limitations of the amendment.
