Ninth Amendment said "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Tenth Amendment said "The powers not delegated to the United Stated by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the Stated repectively, or to the people." The Ninth and Tenth Amendments were added because not every right of the people or of the states could be listed in the Constitution.
