Why is the ninth amendent considered to be controversial?
It is to open-ended, there are way to many loop holes in the ninth amendment.The ninth amendment states "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." It was James Madison's attempt to ensure the Bill of Rights was not seen as granting only the specific rights it addressed to the people of the United States. In recent years, some have interpreted it to mean the existence of "unenumerated" rights outside those expressly protected by the Bill of Rights.

What is an example of what the people have the right to do in the 9th amendment?
It states that there are certain rights listed in the Constitution, but that does not mean that there aren't other rights that the people have that are not listed. Such rights could include the right to take a shower and other silly thigs like that. Because they are so small, the founding fathers didnt see a need to include them in the constitution, but at the same time, they didntwantit to be said that people dont "have the right to shower", so they said though somerights may not be listed, they are still given to the people ofthe united states of america. these rights are reffered to as Unenumerated Rights
