What did the nine tenth amendment do?

The Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1791, asserts that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution does not deny or disparage other rights retained by the people. Essentially, it emphasizes that individuals have rights beyond those explicitly listed in the Constitution, protecting personal liberties and limiting government power. This amendment serves as a reminder that the absence of a specific right in the Constitution does not mean it is not protected.


The ninth amendment makes clear that the rights brought out in the bill of rights are the only rights citizens of the us have?

The ninth amendment says basically that just because something isn't mentioned doesn't mean it isn't a right. For instance, the right to privacy is not in the constitution but it is cited under the 9th amendment as something that is understood. to summarize "just because we forget a certain right doesn't mean you don't have it"

Which amendment protects the rigts which might not necessarily be written into the constitution or the bill of rights?

There is a clause written before the Bill of Rights which basically states in modern english, that the following rights are yours and cannot be taken away, but it does not necessarily mean these the only rights you have. This was done to insure that a) people would not confuse the Bill of Rights as a form of oppression and b) later amendments that guaranteed rights could be added to the Constitution.


What does the 9th amendment mean-?

The 9th Amendment states that the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. In other words, the 9th Amendment emphasizes the Founding Fathers view that powers of government are limited by the rights of the people. The Constitution did not intend, by expressly guaranteeing certain rights of the people, to grand the government unlimited power to invade other rights of the people.

All the rights of Americans are listed in the Constitution.?

No, the Constitution says that it does not limit the rights of Americans, and any rights they have had remain with them. This is (for example) the source of the right to privacy, which is never specifically mentioned in the Constitution or Amendments. The ninth and tenth Amendments ensure that the people retain all of their rights.
