Answer:

Fourth Amendment

Step-by-step explanation:

This amendment protects the right to privacy and the freedom from unreasonable intrusions by the government. But it doesn't protects from all search and seizures but only from those that are done by the government and are considered unreasonable.

A person must have first prove that his right to privacy was invaded and is valid to claim protection under the Fourth Amendment. But supreme court departs form any such requirement, the claimant should simply prove that his rights mentions under the Fourth Amendment were violated

The Fourth Amendment is the part of bill of rights and was passed on 15 December 1791.
