Ep. 15: Privacy in the US Constitution

Although Privacy isn’t explicitly called out in the US Constitution, there is a long history of recognizing that people have a right to privacy and that this right can be inferred from several amendments in the U.S. Constitution. In this episode of Privacy Chats with Rachel and John, John leans into his studies as a Masters of Privacy Law student at Seton Hall University School of Law to educate us about the nuanced relationship between Privacy and the U.S. Constitution. 

We discuss significant Supreme Court cases of the last century which demonstrate the implicit recognition of Privacy as well as common misconceptions regarding the direct interpretation of the Constitution as a guarantor of the right to Privacy in the US.
