Opponents of the measure argued that such an initiative was unnecessary since the courts and State Legislature already had the power to address issues of privacy. On November 7, 1972, the proposition overwhelmingly passed and consequently resulted in explicit references to privacy in the California State Constitution.Grodin Joseph R. Calvin R.
