Amendment 9
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. (X)
What does this mean?
Well, let's take it into parts.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights [.]
Well, first let's define Enumeration. It means 'mention (a number of things) one by one' - so essentially a list.
So let us now rephrase this line to:
The list in the Constitution, of certain rights[.]
Or for better word placement to understand it:
The list of rights in the Constitution [.]
[S]hall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
This means that although there are a list of rights in the Constitution, that does not mean there aren't other rights that belong to the people.
What are those other rights?
It refers to all other personal rights that were not mentioned in the Constitution.
Well, here's an example from 9th Amendment Meaning that may put this in perspective:
To summarize:
‣ The rights mentioned in the Constitution are not the only rights of American Citizens.
