Explanation:

• For question 26: The Ninth Amendment implies rights not explicitly listed. The right to privacy is not directly expressed in the Constitution but is inferred, so it's an implied right.
• For question 27: The Supreme Court has the power of judicial review. It interprets the Constitution, including rights like privacy.
• For question 28: The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is about public records. It allows access to public information held by the government.
• For question 29: Balancing privacy and national security is a challenge because measures for national security (e.g., surveillance) can encroach on personal privacy, while too much privacy protection might hinder security efforts.
