The right to privacy itself is never defined in the Constitution nor in the Bill of Rights. Many scholars, including the majority justices, believe there are amendments that are relevant to this case, but the ‘right of privacy’ has exceptions that damage the sturdiness of it as a concept. For example, a citizen can cause harm to another person in the privacy of his own dwelling, and not a public arena. If one hears the victim demanding help, then the right of the privacy that the people formally had in the dwelling disappears since the safety of the victim, and therefore the liberty of said person, was in question. One can deduce that a right to privacy does not sustain if it infringes on other people’s liberty, as we are entitled to protection. The ruling in favor of Griswold was unconstitutional since it was based on the idea of privacy, which is not founded on ideas in the constitution, but rather on social conventions. The majority justices were devoid of a strong foundation that they would need in order to have this
