Ninth Amendment

Read a random definition: preferential shop

A quick definition of Ninth Amendment:

The Ninth Amendment is a part of the Constitution that says just because certain rights are listed in the Constitution, it doesn't mean that other rights that aren't listed aren't important. People still have those other rights, even if they aren't specifically mentioned in the Constitution.

A more thorough explanation:

The Ninth Amendment is a part of the United States Constitution that was ratified with the Bill of Rights in 1791. It states that the rights listed in the Constitution should not be interpreted in a way that denies or belittles other rights that are not listed, but are still retained by the people.

For example, the Constitution does not specifically mention the right to privacy, but the Ninth Amendment implies that such a right exists and should be protected. Similarly, the right to marry, the right to travel, and the right to raise children are not explicitly listed in the Constitution, but are considered to be protected by the Ninth Amendment.

The Ninth Amendment is important because it recognizes that the Constitution cannot possibly list every right that people have, and that there are many other rights that are just as important and should be protected. It ensures that the government cannot use the fact that a right is not specifically listed in the Constitution as an excuse to deny or restrict that right.

Honestly no clue. I missed NU waves too. Quite frankly, I think my why chicago statements were very meh
My PS and DS were sort of emotion but ended on a happy note. My why chi’s also did a little emotional stuff and I think it might’ve hurt me a bit. No clue tho🤷🏽‍♂️
