Question 2 • Virginia and US History
In Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), the Supreme Court struck down a state law that banned the use of contraceptives by married couples.

Critics who call the decision judicial activism argue that the Court went beyond the Constitution’s written text, so D is correct.
