- The term “privacy” is used frequently in ordinary language as well as in philosophical, political and legal discussions, yet there is no single definition or analysis or meaning of the term. The concept of privacy has broad historical roots in sociological and anthropological discussions about how extensively it is valued and preserved in various cultures. It is innate, it is in culture. Examples of privacy in secluded homes, private ceremonies with restricted access, WALLS, LOCKS, DOORS = privacy, There remains confusion over the meaning, value and scope of the concept of privacy. Revolutionary war = central issue was freedom from the govt. The founders detested the use of general warrants and how they results in ransacking and seizure of items without any evidence Distaste of government power led to the creation of the 3rd, 4th and 5th amendments…3rd = home, 4th being broad on govt limitations, 5th so you aren’t forced to testify about incriminating information Census = 4 questions in 1790 grew to 142(personal) in 1860 even put in public areas to be checked then stopped in 1870. Privacy laws on census information followed in 1919…. A long time later. Mail difficult to seal, swear an oath not to open => further confirmed in the fourth amendment (one reason it was so broad) Telegraph, after civil war congress wantd to access telegraph messages by western union
