The correct answer is: "it established a right to privacy, which the Constitution does not explicitly name".

Griswold v. Connecticut was a landmark US Supreme Court case which established a ruling regardind access to contraceptive measures in 1965. The case involved a law from Conneticut which prohibited using such measures, which was finally overruled by this sentence. It was abolished by the Supreme Court because the judges understood that it violated the right to marital privacy.

Moreover, this decision set the grounds for the right to privacy with respect to intimate practices.
