The Ninth Amendment

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

The Ninth Amendment basically are rights of the people that is not listed in the Constitution. The Founding Fathers understand the rights of the citizens. There are way too many laws to be written for this amendment. For example, there isn't a law that say you cannot choose to when you want to watch TV. These rights are something we don't necessarily think about.



The video is explaining the Ninth Amendment. It is the most easiest amendment to remember because there isn't really a law for it. It is just saying just because some rights aren't listed it doesn't mean that you don't have them.



One of the example in the video is the right to defense. If someone try to hurt or harm you in any ways, you can fight back. Just because it did not listed in the Constitution, it does not mean that you don't have it.
