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

Is it true that there is no specific guarantee of a right to privacy in the constitution?

True, but the 9th Amendment says that the rights listed in the constitution are not the only ones that the people have. The 9th amendment means that just because the authors of the constitution may have not mentioned a certain right in that document, this is not evidence that the right doesn't really exist. Strangely, the Supreme Court didn't use the 9th Amendment when it found a "privacy right" to abortion, or to marry someone of another race, or to buy birth control. I forget what part of the constitution they cited as being the source of this right to privacy.

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.
