Just like the Second Amendment which did not grant the right to own and bear arms (which was already in existed) but that the government shall not infringe upon that right. The first 10 amendments were not a Bill of Rights, and the Ninth referred to the Declaration of Rights already in existence in 1776-77, and those initiated and embedded into the developing free society, some for over 150 years in Virginia.
