"What rights are retained by the people under the 9th Amendment? Can you name one?"

OOO, OOO, I know

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed--

Even though this is from the declaration of independence it shows what types of "rights retained by the people" the founders had in mind.

"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness (but only happiness achieved through govenment sanctioned means)". No rights reserved. Unsanctioned use prohibited.
