The “rights” are pretty well defined in the Bill of Rights.

When the framers were creating the bill of rights, they were concerned that listing some rights would make people think that only the listed rights are valid.

They sought to address this concern by creating the tenth amendment, but as it turns out, too many people did end up believing that you only have rights that are listed.
