What idea was the decision in griswold v. connecticut based upon? a. the case relied on testimony that incriminated the defendant. b. the constitution should never be interpreted based on the intention of the writers. c. the constitution forbids unreasonable search and seizure. d. individuals should be free to disobey laws involving government infringement.

The correct answer is C. The idea in which the decision in Griswold v. Connecticut was based upon was that the Constitution forbids unreasonable search and seizure.

Explanation:

Griswold v. Connecticut was a landmark case in the United States in which the Supreme Court ruled that the US Constitution, through the Bill of Rights, protects the fundamental right to privacy from unreasonable search and seizure on the part of government.

The case involved the Connecticut Comstock Law, that barred people from using "any medicine, medical article or instrument intended to prevent conception." By 7-2, the Supreme Court overturned the law for violating the "right to marital privacy," laying the foundation for the right to privacy, regarding the methods and decisions that each couple intends to make regarding pregnancy prevention.
