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.


What it means to me...
      This amendment was written to address the concern that the government was free to violate any rights that were not specifically protected in the Constitution.

The following is a video about the ninth amendment and our enumerated rights...
      This is a video that discusses an interview between Donald Trump and NBC's Savannah Guthrie. In the interview, she asks Trump a question about abortion and privacy and he responds with a very uneducated answer. This not only made both Trump and Guthrie look bad, but the poor phrasing of the question fundamentally misconstrued the US constitution.

The following video is a Public Service Announcement take on the ninth amendment...
This video shows students depicting how we have more right than just those listed directly in the Constitution.
