Why would the right to privacy implied in the Ninth Amendment not protect an individual writing a blog?

A) The information is freely given to others.

B) The writer may express dangerous ideas.

C) The information may be unreliable or untruthful.

D) The writer may be hiding behind a false identity.

Respuesta :

The information is freely given to others

The correct answer is option A. The right to privacy implied in the Ninth Amendment would not protect an individual writing a blog because the information is freely given to others. The right to privacy, although not literally addressed in the Constitution of the United States, is protected via some of the Amendments to the Constitution. In the case of the 9th Amendment, this one states that "The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage other rights retained by the people". This excerpt has been interpreted as a way of declaring that the Bill of Rights has the objective to protect and defend privacy, in all ways, even if those ways were not determined in the 8 previous Amendments. If a person publishes personal information on a blog, there would be no invasion of privacy, due to the fact that the information was freely and willingly given to the public.
