''The language and history of the Ninth Amendment reveal that the Framers of the Constitution believed that there are additional fundamental rights, protected from governmental infringement, which exist alongside those fundamental rights specifically mentioned in the first eight constitutional amendments.

In sum, the Ninth Amendment serves as a meaningful check on federal power and a significant guarantee of individual liberty.
