>>Rather, they are retained by individuals<<

It is correct that Nine protects the rights of individuals. But it is also correct that the Founders clearly contemplated "the People" as both singular and plural.

"The People", in their States, could establish churches, outlaw lewdness, forbid pornography, regulate intercourse between the races, all without violating Nine.

If that's what they meant, they should have said that, and specifically stated that the States retain the right to regulate the rights of individuals not specifically mentioned in the Constitution.

Maybe so, but I feel this basis is flawed. This "power" is in the same vain as considering blacks less than human and not allowing women to vote. How so? It is based upon humans just "making it up as they go along". The founders had some good ideas, but they were not really interested in a "free" country.
