Constitutional Chats Presented By Constituting America


Dec 9, 2022

The Ninth Amendment is not an amendment you hear discussed too often nor is there significant caselaw regarding it.  However, that in no way diminishes the importance of it.  To put simply, the Ninth Amendment is a guarantee the Bill of Rights does not limit our rights to only those previously enumerated in the document.  How exactly does this affect each of us?  How was Madison appeasing both the Federalist and Anti-Federalists through the Ninth Amendment?  Is there a difference between an enumerated and unenumerated right?  Join our all-star panel and guest Constitutional expert, Hillsdale Professor Adam Carrington, as we continue our study of the Bill of Rights.
