Griswold v. Connecticut
Griswold v. Connecticut, (381 U.S. 479, 85 S.Ct. 1678, 14 L.Ed.2d 510)* (
1965) is a
landmark Supreme Court case in American
law. It invalidated a
law against the use of
contraception. It formally established the legal concept of rights that
citizens have to
privacy: in particular, a sphere of privacy upon which the
government may not intrude. This right is based on the Ninth Amendment to the
United States Constitution.
