One of the most influential essays in the history of American law, The Right to Privacy is an argument by American lawyers Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis that defines privacy with a simple dictum: the right to be let alone. - AsNotedIn
THAT the individual shall have full protection in person and in property is a principle as old as the common law; but it has been found necessary from time to time to define anew the exact nature and extent of such protection. Political, social, and economic changes entail the recognition of new rights, and the common law, in its eternal youth, grows to meet the demands of society.
