Griswold vs.

Connecticut

Here's the Deal.

The state of Connecticut had a law that said

no counsil or medical treatment could be

given to married couples to prevent

conception.

But Dr. Griswold was going to give the counsil that married couples wanted whether or not it was legal. So Connecticut took her to court.

So is privacy in marriage a constitutional right under the right to privacy?

It was decided that the right to privacy as stated in the Constitution includes the right to privacy within a marriage. The Connecticut law was deemed unconstitutional and became null and void.

Decided on

June 7, 1965

The verdict was made with 7 for

Griswold and 2 against.

The case was significant because the Constitution doesn't spell out that privacy within a marriage is a right given. But the right to privacy is given and this was an example of interpreting the Constitution and that the National government is more powerful than the State governments.
