Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) expanded constitutional protections by establishing a right to privacy through the interpretation of several amendments, including the First, Third, Fourth, and Ninth Amendments. The Supreme Court ruled that a Connecticut law prohibiting the use of contraceptives violated the right to marital privacy. This landmark decision set a precedent for future cases regarding personal liberties and reproductive rights, reinforcing the notion that the Constitution protects certain intimacies and personal choices from government interference.
