The Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1791, serves as a safeguard for individual rights not explicitly enumerated in the Constitution. It asserts that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution does not mean that other rights not listed are not protected. This amendment emphasizes that the people retain additional rights, reinforcing the principle that the government's power is limited and individual liberties are broad. It underscores the notion that citizens possess fundamental rights beyond those explicitly outlined in the founding documents.

Neither. The Necessary and Proper Clause is part of the original Articles of the US Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18), so it's not an amendment, but is a formal part of the US Constitution. When use of the Necessary and Proper clause is expanded beyond the justifiable reach of Congress, that would be considered an informal amendment process.
protect rights beyond those listed in the Constitution
The federal government has the power to do whatever the Constitution allows it too. Anything else not mentioned in the Constitution is beyond the federal government's power. Those rights are reserved for the people.
The Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees rights not specifically enumerated in the Constitution, affirming that the enumeration of certain rights does not mean that others do not exist.

The phrase "For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences" comes from the Declaration of Independence, not an amendment. It reflects a grievance against King George III, highlighting the colonists' objections to being sent overseas for trial, which they viewed as an abuse of power. This concern influenced the development of legal protections in the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the Sixth Amendment, which guarantees the right to a fair trial.
Congress has no authority to exercise any power beyond the constitution. The 10th Amendment states, "The powers not delegated to the United States (congress) by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." Article 1 Section 8 specifically names the powers that have been granted to Congress. If it's not on the list, it's not constitutional.
The Tenth Amendment is the last part of the Bill of Rights, and is intended to protect state sovereignty as well as (to an extent) individual rights from being usurped by the Federal government.Amendment X"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."Translated, this means: The states have legal authority over anything not assigned to the federal government or specifically withheld from the states. Whatever powers aren't claimed by the federal or state governments are leftover for the people. US residents (both citizens and other people under US jurisdiction) are also vaguely protected by the Ninth Amendment, which essentially says you have rights beyond those mentioned in the first eight amendments (unfortunately, these have to be negotiated with various government entities).
