It is to open-ended, there are way to many loop holes in the ninth amendment.

The ninth amendment states "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." It was James Madison's attempt to ensure the Bill of Rights was not seen as granting only the specific rights it addressed to the people of the United States. In recent years, some have interpreted it to mean the existence of "unenumerated" rights outside those expressly protected by the Bill of Rights.

In 1930, Pluto was considered to be the ninth planet from the Sun.But, after the discovery of similar worlds deeper in the distant of the Kuiper Belt, icy Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet. Which meant that Pluto was demoted (a very controversial decision) and was no longer considered a planet in our solar system, which I think was a shame.

Why is the ninth amendment cosidered to be controversial?

The Ninth Amendment is considered controversial because it asserts that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution does not imply that other unenumerated rights do not exist. This has led to debates over the scope of individual rights and the limits of government power. Critics argue that it creates ambiguity, allowing for judicial interpretation that could expand rights beyond those explicitly stated in the Constitution, while supporters believe it protects fundamental liberties that may not be explicitly listed. This tension raises questions about the balance between federal authority and personal freedoms.
