The Ninth Amendment was enacted to ensure that a particular rule of statutory interpretation is not applied: expressio unius est exclusio alterius (which means something like, the expression of one is the exclusion of all others). Without the Ninth Amendment, people could try to argue that because the Bill of Rights lists certain rights of the People, those are our onlyrights.
Although some people have looked to the Ninth Amendment as a way for the federal courts to recognize individual rights not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution (under a theory that there are basic human rights or that there are certain god given rights), the Supreme Court has been extremely reticent to do so. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any substantive rights justified using the Ninth Amendment.

Americans have unnamed rights guaranteed by the Ninth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

It serves to affirm that individuals possess additional fundamental rights that are inherent and should not be infringed upon by the government.
What is the basis for the ninth Amendment?
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.
