Good Tuesday Morning!!!
1. Questions – Read Amendment 9 carefully:
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights,
shall not be construed to deny or disparage others
retained by the people.
What rights do you think it covers? Would you
prefer to see those rights listed? Why or why not?
2. Thought – The mention of certain rights in the
Constitution does not mean that these are the only
rights that people have or does not make other rights
less important.
These unnamed rights probably meant those like
“pursuit of happiness.” Some of them are so
vague they cannot be legally defined. (The Constitution
by Joyce L. Stevos)
“The happy Union of these States is a wonder;
their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope
of Liberty throughout the world.”
(James Madison)
