Question

Which amendment best addresses the fears of Federalists like James Madison, that rights and powers not specifically listed in the Constitution or Bill of Rights will not be protected in the future?

Answer 1

Correct answer is:

The Ninth Amendment.

Explanation:

"The inventory in the Constitution, of some rights, shall not be interpreted to reject or discredit others held by the people."

The Ninth Amendment or Amendment IX of the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights that declares that there are different equities that may subsist apart from the ones explicitly stated, and even though they are not noted, it does not indicate they can be disrupted.

Answer 2

9th Amendment--This amendment is called the enumerated rights amendment.

The enumerated rights amendment states that if a right is not explicitly covered by the Constitution it will still be protected as a natural right under the Constitution. Many civil rights cases in the Supreme Court have been settled under this amendment. <span />
