Lana asks: "What does the 9th amendment of the US stand for? Thanks for the answer in advance."

What Amendment IX means is that people have inherent rights granted to them by God (self defense, liberty, etc.) And just because those rights are not specifically enumerated (listed) in the Constitution doesn't mean they are denied.

A person has a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. While those may be rights that we "protect" here in the United States, it is NOT a right granted by government. The founders of this nation recognized that those rights were inherent to all men. So much so, that the Amendment IX was included in the Bill of Rights to say that the "enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Samuel Adams noted that:

Among the Natural Rights of the Colonists are these First. a Right to Life; Secondly to Liberty; thirdly to Property; together with the Right to support and defend them in the best manner they can--Those are evident Branches of, rather than deductions from the Duty of Self Preservation, commonly called the first Law of Nature--

The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man; but only to have the law of nature for his rule.--
