Explanation

In Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), the Warren Court struck down a state law restricting the use and distribution of birth control. The Court reasoned that the Constitution protects a right to privacy, including decisions about contraception within marriage. So the law was unconstitutional because it violated the right to privacy.
