Which amendment specifically addresses the rights not enumerated in the Constitution?

  1. 9th Amendment

  2. 10th Amendment

  3. 1st Amendment

  4. 5th Amendment

The correct answer is: 9th Amendment

The 9th Amendment specifically addresses the rights not enumerated in the Constitution. This means that it protects the rights of the people that are not specifically listed in the Constitution. The 10th Amendment, on the other hand, states that any powers not given to the federal government in the Constitution belong to the states or the people. The 1st Amendment protects the freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. The 5th Amendment guarantees the right to a fair and just legal process, including protection against self-incrimination and double jeopardy. Thus, these options are incorrect because they do not specifically address the rights not enumerated in the Constitution like the 9th Amendment does.
