The Right of Privacy and the US Constitution Discussion

 

I’m stuck on a Criminal Justice question and need an explanation.

We learned this week that the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly provide for the right to privacy.

Do some research into this issue — here is a good place to start:

Question:

Explain your thoughts on this matter — should the U.S. Constitution be amended to specifically define a right to privacy or, do you feel that the holdings of the U.S. Supreme Court (and tell me which cases) are sufficient protection in this matter; why or why not? Is there perhaps a specific privacy right that you feel particularly strong about personally; explain.  Make sure that you use specific examples and at least two resources to substantiate your opinion.
