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

I said: "Rights posessed by citizens at the time of the adoption of the Consitution continued after the adoption and after enactment of the Bill of Rights. That is what the 9th Amendment means."

You disagreed with what I said.

How is what I said different from what the 9th Amendment says?

Because "Rights possessed by citizens at the time of the adoption of the Constitution" is not the same as rights retained by the people.
