The Ninth and Tenth Amendments do not guarantee rights and thus there is an ongoing debate about the meaning of these amendments. The meanings of these amendments are quite ambigous because of the language and there are consequently numerous interpretations. For example, the Tenth amendment was designed to reserve powers to the states and two theories about this amendment were that it states the nature of American federalism but adds nothing to the Constitution as originally ratified and that it protects the powers of the states against national government.

How did the bill of rights resolve the ratification of the constitution?

The original idea was that since most states have their own Bill of Rights, they would not need to include one in the Constitution. However, to help appeal to other states so the Founding Fathers could get everyone to approve of it, they decided to add them as amendments, or formal changes to the constitution. 12 were proposed, but only 10 were passed. They resolved the issue by including these 10 amendments as the Bill of Rights.

Who radify's amendments to the constitution?

The legislatures of 3/4 of the states (currently, that's 38 states). Alternatively, Congress (upon proposing the amendment) can stipulate that special conventions be held to vote on the proposed amendment in each state. In theory, if 2/3 of the state legislatures resolve to do so, they can force the Congress to convene a national constitutional convention to propose Amendments without the direct input of the Congress. That's never actually happened.
