Answer:
The answer to the question: The Supreme Court´s decisions in Griswold vs. Connecticut and Roe vs Wade were most important because they: established for the first time the right to privacy and the prevalence of individual right to privacy over public law.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Griswold v Connecticut, which took place in 1965, the issue was the right that laws had to infringe on the right of individuals, and couples, to decide on the use of contraceptives. This conflict arose from a ban in Connecticut, through a law from 1879 that prohibited the use of contraceptives, as drugs that prevented pregnancy. In the end, the Court established that public law could not infringe on marital privacy, and the right couples had to use these methods of birth control, as part of their private life.
The second case: Roe vs. Wade, which took place in 1973, established once again that through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, a woman had the right to privacy when choosing whether to carry her child, or abort the pregnancy. In this case, however, the Court also established limitations to said freedom to choose abortion, but it was very clear on the fact of privacy.
