For this assignment, you will first need to read the summary of the Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) case found on the bottom of page 180 and the top of page 181 of your textbook. After you have read the case discuss the following two questions:
Since Griswold, the logic of privacy has been extended to protect many social relations, including women’s choices regarding abortion (Roe v. Wade, 1973), the sale of contraception to unmarried individuals Carey v. Population Services International, 1977), and relations among homosexuals (Lawrence v. Texas, 2003). Do you agree with these extensions of privacy? Would you extend privacy to all social relations or would you limit its application?
Should the government have to demonstrate why it is justified in interfering with your life rather than requiring you to demonstrate that the text of the Constitution specifically and narrowly prohibits the government’s actions?
