Sentiment: POSITIVE
If the right to privacy means anything, it is the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted governmental intrusion.
The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family.
Privacy is a right, but as in any democratic society, it is not an absolute right.
The right to privacy has both positive and negative connotations for those who consider themselves part of the natural law tradition.
There is nothing new in the realization that the Constitution sometimes insulates the criminality of a few in order to protect the privacy of us all.
The U.S. Constitution protects our privacy from the prying eyes of government. It does not, however, protect us from the prying eyes of companies and corporations.
The 4th Amendment and the personal rights it secures have a long history. At the very core stands the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion.
Privacy is not explicitly spelled out in the Constitution as freedom of speech is in the First Amendment.
The right to personal privacy is precious. Without it, we are all potential victims for a prying secret police.
This has been a learning experience for me. I also thought that privacy was something we were granted in the Constitution. I have learned from this when in fact the word privacy does not appear in the Constitution.
