Privacy is also a right recognized in the US Constitution, though the recognition is not quite as clear as the free speech right.

Where in the Constitution is privacy a recognized right?

Don't get me wrong, I truly believe that Americans have a right to privacy, but I have never seen the word privacy in the US Constitution. There are Supreme Court rulings that acknowledge privacy (Roe v. Wade for example) but, as I understand it, privacy is not explicit in the US Constitution itself. That is a later interpretation in case law.
