"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
This means that just because, for instance, the Constitution lists the freedom of speech as a right, doesn't mean that other things that aren't listed aren't still valid rights. In other words, the Founders set it up so that no one can say, It's not in the Constitution, so it really isn't a right.

When The Bill of Rights was being debated, some people were worried that listing certain rights in the constitution would lead in the future to the position being taken by the Government that the only' rights people have are those given to them by the Constitution.
The 9th Amendment states that just because "some" rights are listed in the Bill of Rights, that doesn't mean you don't still have other rights that are not listed.

The question is, if some things are specifically mentioned as being a right or privilege, does that mean that the things that are not specifically mentioned are not?
It gets into a sticky issue if the things not mentioned do not clearly fall into place as part of the federal government.

Don't misinterpret the constitution and make unjust decisions.
