Answer:

sample response on edge:

The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution came about because people worried that the many rights that were not specifically stated by the Bill of Rights would not be considered rights. Therefore, the Ninth Amendment was created to state that the ten rights listed are not necessarily the only rights that should be given to American citizens. The amendment was written generally so that, in the future, politicians could use it to ensure any rights they saw fit.

hope that helps :)
