What was the nature of the relationship given special protection in Moore v. City of East Cleveland and what were the reasons the Court recognized the relationship as giving rise to a fundamental liberty

1.In Griswold v. Connecticut, the majority decision cited several constitutional provisions for the proposition that there exists in the Constitutional a right of privacy that prohibits criminalization of the use of contraceptives by a married couple. Later cases make it clear that the right is not limited to married couples and suggest that the right is actually part of substantive Due Process and thus rooted in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. That has raised questions about the reasoning behind the Griswold decision. Please identify each specific constitutional amendment the Court identified in Griswold to support its holding about the existence of a right to privacy.
