The Right to Privacy

People often invoke their right to privacy when they don't want personal information to be made public. The Constitution doesn't use the phrase "right to privacy," but the Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights protects people from "unreasonable searches and seizures." This intriguing book, a valuable addition to social studies collections, tells the story behind the right to privacy and explains how this freedom is applied--or denied--today. Accessible text is paired with supporting photographs and images as well as fact boxes for more interesting information about this and other constitutional rights.
