Sommario/riassunto

This book delves into the history of the Ninth Amendment, which guarantees individuals rights not specifically named within the Constitution or the other amendments. It was written using vague, open-ended language to ensure no American citizen would be denied the many rights he or she retained that were not explicitly enumerated.
