9th and 10th Amendment

The 9th amendment is about unenumerated rights. People have certain rights not listed in the constitution, they are just a given that you have these rights. Like the right to get married, it isn’t in the constitution but you have that right. It was created on September 5, 1789. Today it is used to stop the government from increasing their power.

The 10th amendment is a lot like the 9th, the main difference is it protects the states’ rights not listed in the constitution.  This amendment is still used quite a bit today, and comes in handy too. It was ratified on December 15, 1791. This amendment is widely used today.
