Amendment+9


 * Ninth Ammendment**

There has been very few cases for the ninth amendment. The reason for that is that the ninth amendment is obvious and not usually arguable in public cases. I have found only one case for the ninth amendment so far.

This case was between a married couple and the state of Connecticut. A law in Connecticut prohibited the use of contraceptives. The married couple argued that the constitution protected a right of privacy. But the couples lawyer reversed the charges by using the ninth amendment. The court invalidated the law on the grounds that it violated the "right to marital privacy". A picture of Estelle Griswold

A married couple joined a planed parent hood league and wanted birth control. The issue was weather the constitution allowed for marital couples to use birth control. The supreme court said that it was the right of the couple to use it.
