Final answer:
No single amendment explicitly grants a right to privacy; however, the Ninth Amendment combined with other amendments such as the Fourth and Fourteenth are interpreted to protect privacy rights in the U.S. Constitution.
Step-by-step explanation:
While the U.S Constitution does not explicitly mention a right to privacy, the concept has been interpreted from various amendments by the U.S. Supreme Court. Specifically, the Ninth Amendment has been used in conjunction with other amendments like the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth to recognize and affirm the right to privacy. However, there is no single amendment that solely gives an explicit right to privacy.
For instance the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, while the Fourteenth Amendment safeguards principles of due process and equal protection which have been applied to protect privacy. The Ninth Amendment though not explicitly mentioning privacy supports the right to privacy by stating that the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Therefore the right to privacy has been derived from a collective interpretation of these amendments rather than being granted by a specific one.
