4. Example of Definition

5. Paul McCrone Mr. McCrone US History Period 1 28 March 2015 Definition of the 9th Amendment In 1791, the 9 th amendment was created. The definition of the 9th amendment is very complicated. It states…” The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” When the Bill of Rights was first proposed, the major argument against it was that by specifying some rights that the government was not free to violate, there would be the implication that the government was free to violate any rights not specifically protected in the Constitution. The Ninth Amendment was written to address this concern. This amendment deals with and protects the future rights of Americans. This amendment basically says that even if a right is not specifically listed in the constitution, this does not mean that right does not exist. An Example of this is the presumption of innocence, or the term “innocent until proven guilty.”
