Is this true or false explain:

Although the term "privacy" does not appear in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, scholars have interpreted several Bill
of Rights provisions as an indication that James Madison and Congress sought to protect a common-law right to privacy as
it would have been understood in the late eighteenth Century: a right to be free of government intrusion into our personal
life, particularly within the bounds of the home.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hard one to answer -- something that is a right but not a stated part of the bill of rights.

I still think its true. Amendment 4 is seldom talked about and not entirely understood, but it prevents a police force from searching a premises without a warrant. I don't know this for certain, but I will bet that that's how privacy gets in the back door. Anyway, try it. Among the first 10 amendments, this is the only one that speaks of violation and/intrusion into the home.
