Which amendment protects your privacy?

No Constitutional Amendment explicitly enumerates the right to privacy. The right to privacy is implied under the 1st, 4th, 9th, and 14th Amendments. The U.S. Supreme Court first acknowledged a right to privacy in the case Griswold v. Connecticut in 1965, which affirmed the right to marital privacy. The most common argument today deals with Justice Harlan's "substantive due process" justification, which arises from the 14th Amendment due process clause and the 9th Amendment.
