They should have put that "understanding" in writing, as there seemed to be a disconnect in that alleged "understanding", insofar as it obviously wasn't "understood" by all the States that made up the Union, or ratified the Constitution.

Oh they did you sniveling little brat and quite clearly!!

Amendment IX:

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

Amendment X:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

And it was understood by all for quite a long time until there appeared those who can read "implications" and "penumbras" which others can't seem to locate!
