The ninth amendments rights were not written into the text of the Constitution but instead informed from the language history, and structure of the constitution. The ninth amendment means exactly what it says. "The 9th Amendment is simply a statement that other rights aside from those listed may exist, and just because they are not listed doesn't mean they can be violated."
"Ninth Amendment was added to ensure that each item of the Constitution was given equal weight. The Ninth Amendment prevents anyone from using his constitutional rights to take away the constitutional rights of anyone else." It protects the rights of equality in the eyes of the law.
I really like this video becasue it really explains the 9th amendment and how it works. It kind of gives you a history lesson and explains the 9th amendment and how it became the 9th amendment. I especially liked it becasue the 9th amendment can be confusing and this made me better understand the amendment.
