Griswold v. Connecticut

Explanation:

Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), is a Supreme Court case that ruled against a Connecticut 1879 state law that banned the use of any drug, medical device, or other instrument in furthering contraception. The case was originated as a result of the arrest of Lee Buxton and Estelle Griswold in their violation of the Connecticut law.

The Supreme Court ruled that the law violated the right to marital privacy.
