When read together, the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments establish the right to privacy. The First Amendment protects freedom of religion, which has been interpreted to include the right to form and exercise personal beliefs. The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing citizens to quarter troops in their homes. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures, while the Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination and requires due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment expands the Due Process Clause to all states, requiring that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, and establishes the Equal Protection Clause, which requires the government to treat all citizens equally under the law. Together, these amendments have been interpreted by the Supreme Court to establish a right to privacy that includes personal decisions about contraception, marriage, and other intimate matters.
