Consequences of the Right to Privacy in Modern Law

Hard Unit 3: Civil Liberties & Rights Right To Privacy

The right to privacy is a significant aspect of American civil liberties, often inferred from various amendments and judicial decisions. Over the years, landmark cases have shaped the understanding of this right. One pivotal case, Roe v. Wade (1973), dealt with the issue of privacy in relation to abortion rights. The decision established that the Constitution protects a woman's right to choose an abortion under the right to privacy, striking down many state and federal restrictions.

In recent years, however, the discussion surrounding privacy has expanded, focusing not only on reproductive rights but also on issues of personal data, government surveillance, and the implications of technology. Understanding how various laws and interpretations impact the right to privacy is essential to grasping its current legal landscape.

Given this context, which of the following statements accurately reflects a consequence of the right to privacy as understood in modern legal interpretations?
