9th amendment
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
This just means that naming SOME of the rights in the Bill of Rights doesn't mean there are no more rights for the people.
If we did not have the 9th amendment there would be no where to expand to.
Because the framers of the Constitution didn't have cell phones, they couldn't specifically write, "Policemen can't take away your cell without a warrant, because that's a violation of rights."
Instead, they left some wiggle room for rights they weren't able to think up yet. The 9th amendment is that wiggle room.

The Amendment that gave women in America the right to vote and participate in the government. Not surprisingly, America was threatened by Communism, swamped with organized crime, and the nation's economy collapsed soon afterwards.

This amendment states that anyone who may have infected a coworker with covid 19 must in fact show the innocent coworker their boobies. This amendment has no stipulation on sex.

The 28th Amendment that requires the rules and regulations; laws and practices reflect the current year; and requires at least one amendment every year heretofore.
Thanks to the Universal Amendment, the antiquated governing system is updated each year to allow corrections and protections that have relevance.
