15.1: PRIVACY

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

INTRODUCTION

The word privacy does not appear in the United States Constitution. Yet, privacy is a fundamental right of Americans. This chapter will explain how despite the fact that the word privacy is not specifically mentioned in the United States Constitution, it is still a constitutionally protected right. With the advent of heightened concerns of terrorism, cyber-attacks, security, and the use of social media, a basic understanding of privacy law is becoming increasingly important.
