Question 12 • MI-Government/Civics 2023

Why would the right to privacy implied in the Ninth Amendment not protect an individual writing a blog?

Answer
A
The information is freely given to others.
B
The writer may express dangerous ideas.
C
The information may be unreliable or untruthful.
D
The writer may be hiding behind a false identity.

Explanation

The right to privacy generally concerns information or activities a person keeps private. By writing a blog and making its contents available to others, the writer freely shares that information, so the privacy right would not protect it in the same way. The correct choice is “The information is freely given to others.”
