Question

1. choose the true statements about the ninth amendment to the united states constitution. (select all that apply)

a. there are rights beyond those listed in the u.s. constitution.

b. the right to privacy is an example of a right retained, or kept, by the people.

c. rights not listed must be added to the constitution be considered rights.

d. the rights listed are the only ones approved by the states.

Explanation:

• Option A: The Ninth Amendment states that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution doesn't deny or disparage others retained by the people, meaning there are rights beyond those listed. So A is true.
• Option B: The right to privacy is considered a right retained by the people (implied by the Ninth Amendment's protection of unenumerated rights), so B is true.
• Option C: The Ninth Amendment acknowledges unenumerated rights exist without needing to be added to the Constitution, so C is false.
• Option D: The Ninth Amendment directly contradicts the idea that only listed rights are approved; it recognizes unenumerated rights, so D is false.

Answer:

A. There are rights beyond those listed in the U.S. Constitution.
B. The right to privacy is an example of a right retained, or kept, by the people.
