So, I'm having a bit of trouble with a project of mine. Justice Louis Brandies was an American lawyer and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court from 1916-1930. In 1890, he along with his partner, Samuel D. Warren, developed an article for the Harvard Law Review. In the article, he focuses on "the right to be let alone" and focuses on protecting individuals. The approach was in response to recent technological development such as photography and yellow journalism.
Now, what I'm stuck on is how he looked to add privacy as part of the Constitution and what amendments he emphasized privacy was part of.
Would one of the amendments he was trying to include privacy in be the first amendment? I've also been leaning towards the fourth amendment as one of them.
If any of you guys have any sort of links that I could read up on, that would be extremely helpful!
A right to privacy was recognized by the Court in Griswold v Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965). The majority and concurring opinions would touch on where privacy rights flow out of in the Constitution. I believe (been 2+ years since I read the opinion) the various opinions touch on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 9th amendments, as well as the due process clause of the 14th amendment. I scanned through the article you mention by Brandeis, but I did not find an explicit part that he himself draws on.
