The correct answer is C. Unconstitutional because it violated the right to privacy.

Explanation:

In 1965, the Supreme Court of the United States led by Chief Justice Earl Warren determined the decision of getting and using contraceptives belonged to the individuals' right for privacy, and therefore it was against the constitution for government to prohibit birth control. This decision was the answer to a legal dispute against a law in the state of Connecticut that did not allow the citizens in this state to use any birth control and even established penalties for those that used contraceptives. Moreover, this decision made it possible for women to have more control over their bodies and ended biased ideas about contraceptives.
