A. Ninth The Ninth Amendment was introduced to prevent anyone from assuming that the rights enumerated in the bill of rights were the only protected rights by the Constitution.
<em>"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."</em>
It was proposed by the congress in 1789 and James Madison proposed it in order to make sure that people wouldn´t take the constitution literally and gave people only the rights ennumerated in the bill of rights and make it clear that people had other rights that are just as important as those cited in the Bill of Rights and that those given right should be respected.
It was outlawed in 1804, and it not only declared the colonies free of Britain but it helped to inspire Vermont to abolish slavery in its 1777 state constitution. Hope this helps.
