I'm somewhat aware of Federalists vs Anti-Federalists. But surely there was no one who said, "Nah, let's leave out the free speech, and search and seizure stuff, and quarterimg soldiers, no state would let that anyway.". But then...when these ideas get proposed as amendments there's enough overwhelming support to get voted into the Constitution. ??? Thanks...
Some Americans feared that if you make a list of rights it could be misinterpreted to mean that those listed rights are the only rights we have so they were left out of the original constitution. Some states wouldn't ratify the constitution unless it contained a bill of rights. The solution was the 9th and 10th ammendments.
9th ammendment The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
This protects the people's rights that are not listed in the constitution.
10th ammendment The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
This stops the government from saying they also have rights that are not listed in the constitution. They can only do what's specifically mentioned.
