In Griswold v. Connecticut, on what did Justice Goldberg base his concurring opinion?
the protection granted by the Constitution
the intention of the writers of the Constitution
the list of rights in the first eight amendments
the human rights safe from government intervention
The 1965 Supreme Court case of Griswold v. Connecticut was about the rights of an individual (in this case, a married couple) in using contraceptive pills. This case pertains to the individual liberty to do what they want without any government restriction.
This ruling contradicted a Connecticut law that prohibits or illegalizes the use of "any drug, medicinal article, or instrument for the purpose of preventing conception..." Justice Arthur Goldberg ruled that this law cannot be justified and is unconstitutional, pointing out that the state has no right to intrude into a person's personal/ intimate affairs. He based his ruling on the Constitutional rights of individuals to be protected from such events, in this case, the protection of one’s privacy in marital affairs.
