the 9th amendment

Here is the wiki on the ninth amendment. Ever heard of the ninth amendment? Here is what it says:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Reading the history of the amendment and even just the plain language, what this amendment says, as Madison and Hamilton made clear, is that the list of rights in the first eight amendments is not the whole list of rights.

All the ninth amendment says is there are rights out there that are not in the Bill of Rights.
