The Right to Privacy

Citation
Samuel Warren & Louis Brandeis, The Right to Privacy, 4 Harv. L. Rev. 193 (1890).

Overview
Warren and Brandeis specifically emphasized the right to keep personal information outside of the public domain. Their work laid the foundation for the common law development of privacy, understood by some as a broader "right to be let alone," including a right to control personal information, during much of the 20th Century.
