Amendment IX (thing)

The wayward child of the Bill of Rights. The Ninth Amendment saw very little judicial action until the landmark case of Griswold v. Connecticut, in which Justice Goldberg found that a generalized right to privacy could be grounded in this Amendment. (Current jurisprudence instead grounds the right to privacy in the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause.)
