Explanation

The Ninth Amendment says that people have rights beyond those specifically listed in the Constitution. The Tenth Amendment reserves powers not given to the federal government to the states or the people. Together, they limit federal power and clarify that states and people retain rights and powers; they do not deny rights outside the Constitution or give all power to the federal government.
