1) Generally correct, there is a little more detail which is glossed over in the question.
2) Absolutely correct, there are specific individual rights like the freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion, the right to bear arms, the right to a fair trial, the right to due process, and the right of states to claim other powers detailed in the Bill of Rights not found anywhere in the Constitution.
