What is the 9th amendment?
473500
the 9th amendment protects ALL other rights that aren't mentioned in the Bill of Rights. the people of the US aren't limited to JUST those rights, and all their other rights must be upheld in the court of law\n\nthat article explains it very well!

Yes!\n\nThe US Constitution does not specifically say the word "privacy" but the 9th Amendment clearly states that just because a right is not specifically enumerated doesn't mean it isn't protected.\n\nOther enumerated rights (such as in the 5th and 14th) create rights of privacy. Unless the government has a compelling interest, they can't get into the private liberties of individual citizens. Now, exactly which interests are compelling and which areas of life are private are open to judicial debate.

From memory:\n\n[I] Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof; nor shall congress impose any restraints on speech, nor of the press, nor of the people to peaceably assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances.\n\n[II] A well regulated militia being necessary for the defense of the state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.\n\n[III] No troops shall be quartered in private homes during time of peace, without consent of the owner, nor during time of war except as may be prescribed by law.\n\n[IV] The right of the people to be secure in their persons, homes, documents and effects shall not be infringed; and no warrant shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the places to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.\n\nI know that the 5th Amendment includes the right against self-incrimination, against government taking without just compensation, the due process clause, plus a couple other protections I can't remember right now. The 6th guarantees right to a speedy and public trial, right to a jury in criminal trials, and right to counsel in criminal trials. The 7th includes right to a jury in civil trials over a certain amount. The 8th includes the prohibition against excessive bail, and against torture.\n\n[IX] The enumeration of certain rights herein shall not be construed to deny or disparage other rights retained by the people.\n\n[X] Any powers not expressly granted to the federal government, nor prohibited to the states, shall be reserved  for the states and for the people.\n\nThat's it from memory. Then I looked it up. I got some detail wording wrong on all of them, forgot that the prohibition in 4 is only against unreasonable searches, missed the grand jury and double jeopardy clauses of the 5th, the confrontation and notice clauses of the 6th, and it's "cruel and unusual punishment" for the 8th. Oh well, back to studying.

Read it here: \n\nhttp://www.law.emory.edu/cms/site/index.php?id=3080\n\nLook at Article I, Section 9, Clause 3.

FOURTH AMENDMENT [U.S. Constitution] - 'The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.'\nprobably not. it all depends on the skill of the prosecutor, and the strength of their evidence. if it's a constitutional issue (which 4th amendment is) you'll need to hire a separate constitutional lawyer (believe it or not, hillary clinton is one of the best!) to address the constitutionality of the point in case. any more ?'s, just ask.

The Constitution is intended as a framework upon which the nation can build a legal system.  It's a wonderful thing.  Read it.  (You can get a free copy from the Cato Institute)\n\nThe only thing better is the Bill of Rights.\n\nMy least favorite Amendment is the 18th, but it's okay 'cos the 21st set that right!

The last state ratified the 16th amendment to the constitution on February 13, 1913\n\nA dark day, that.\n\nFor a full history, see the link below.

It would be a good idea to look up the 11th amendment to the US Constitution. I have and am completely without ideas as it is a hard one to capture in pictures. It gives citizens of any state the right to sue a state.

Marbury v. Madison.  But the fact is, the Tenth Amendment was then and has been violated with this "supremacy."  The federal jurisdiction was supposed to be limited to those powers granted in the Constitution.

The bill of rights is the first 10 ammendmants to the constitution.

This amendment was added as a specific response to the Anti-Federalists (Madison, Jay and Hamilton) who were arguing that they were afraid if a specific right wasn't written into the Constitution the government could infringe on it. It was designed as a catchall to ensure that just because a specific right wasn't spelled out in black and white the government would not be allowed to simply trample it. This, by far and away, was the most important aspect of ensuring that the document that framed the fledgling US government was one that decided what the GOVERNMENT could and could not do rather than a basis for what the PEOPLE could and could not do.

This right is protected by the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. \n\n"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

It kinda depends on what business.  If you run a newspaper or television station or radio station, the 1st amendment is your salvation.  When it comes to a typical small business, I can't really think of one that is specific to business.  The only one I can think of that might be important to business is the 10th -- any right not given to the federal gov't is left to the states. That means states have the Constitutional authority to pass commerce legislation.   You might be able to make a case for the 9th as well, which basically says that just because something wasn't listed in the Bill of Rights doesn't mean it isn't a right.  It says that the Bill of Rights is not all inclusive.  \n\nI hope this helps.

Bill of Rights.\n\n(but Drama Guy's answer four below mine is the best)

Interesting point.  The 9th was put forth to clarify that "the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."  \n\nSo in this case, saying the Constitution doesn't say anything about gay marriage is a moot point.  \n\nThe 14th says, in part, "No State shall...deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."\n\nSo it could be interpreted that "equal protection" would apply to those legal rights regarding heterosexual marriage as being equally applied to gay marriage. \n\nI'm not a legal scholar (obviously), but I see your point.
