In recent years there have been only few attempts to clearly and precisely define a "right to privacy." Some experts assert that in fact the right to privacy "should not be defined as a separate legal right" at all. By their reasoning, existing laws relating to privacy in general should be sufficient. Other experts, such as Dean Prosser, have attempted, but failed, to find a "common ground" between the leading kinds of privacy cases in the court system, at least to formulate a definition. One law school treatise from Israel, however, on the subject of "privacy in the digital environment," suggests that the "right to privacy should be seen as an independent right that deserves legal protection in itself." It has therefore proposed a working definition for a "right to privacy":
The right to privacy is our right to keep a domain around us, which includes all those things that are part of us, such as our body, home, property, thoughts, feelings, secrets and identity. The right to privacy gives us the ability to choose which parts in this domain can be accessed by others, and to control the extent, manner and timing of the use of those parts we choose to disclose.

How right to privacy is implied by other constitutional rights guaranteed in the Constitution?
Two amendments in the Bill of Rights imply a right to privacy. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from "unreasonable search and seizure". But in recent years, the Tenth Amendment is often cited as the basis of a right to privacy. The Tenth Amendments states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Some scholars and Constitutional experts believe that if there is no constitutional provision allowing an invasion of privacy by the government, then the people can claim power over their own privacy or the "right to be let alone." This belief has formed the basis in arguments in favor of the right to abortion, same-sex marriage and medical marijuana laws, among others.
