9th amendment The enumeration [listing] in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Based on this text, what can you infer about the founding Father's concerns in forming a constitution?
They wanted to keep the constitution intact and avoiding any new amendments
They did not want to limit the rights of the people to just those listed in the document
They did not want to allow people to add more rights to the constitution than those listed
They wanted to protect the rights of a minority group within the country ***
Nope.
ok thanks!
Based on the text of the 9th Amendment, it can be inferred that the Founding Fathers' concerns in forming a constitution were that they did not want to limit the rights of the people to just those listed in the document. They wanted to ensure that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution would not be interpreted as denying or disparaging other rights that are retained by the people. In other words, they wanted to emphasize that the rights listed in the Constitution were not an exhaustive list, but rather a starting point, and that the people retained additional rights beyond those specifically enumerated. Therefore, the correct answer would be: They did not want to limit the rights of the people to just those listed in the document.
Neither of your guesses is correct. Come on -- we've had 17 amendments since the original 10 amendments were signed.
I only check two answers -- so you're on your own now.
