The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
I believe that this amendment is saying that all of the rights in the US Constitution apply to everyone, not just certain people. Also this amendment is saying that the Constitution guarantees all fundamental rights. Just because a certain right wasn't listed in the Constitution doesn't mean that the people don't get it.
This old man talks about how the right to privacy is not brought up in either the Bill of Rights or any of the other amendments. He explains how privacy comes from all the different amendments combined, but it is overall an implied right that people just agree that we have.
One of many rights not listed in the Constitution.

What a short boring video but yet informational. The 9th Amendment is basically rights that are not listed in the Constitution. For example, if I want to go to Florida for a vacation, the government cannot stop me from doing it. Good explanation on this amendment.
