Populist America's commentary:
The Ninth Amendment worried some of the founders greatly. They feared that, by listing rights not to be infringed by the government, rights that were not listed might be subject to government interference because such interference was not specifically prohibited. The Ninth Amendment was written in an attempt to preclude such abuse.

I plan to post one amendment a week (although I forgot for a few weeks after posting the 10th), and may count down from 10 to 1, and then start going up from 11, or may just pick ‘em as it suits me. :’)
