Explanation

In Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), the Supreme Court struck down a state ban on contraceptive use by married couples, recognizing a constitutional right to privacy. Many conservatives objected that the Court had read a new right into the Constitution rather than simply applying rights clearly stated there.
