C

Explanation

The Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution addresses rights, retained by the people, that are not specifically enumerated in the Constitution. This amendment is a part of the Bill of Rights. It was introduced to the Constitutional Convention by James Madison as a way to provide greater constitutional protection for individual liberties. Madison was influenced by previous critiques that the Constitution failed to mention or protect certain fundamental rights. The Ninth Amendment states that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Therefore, it acts as a safeguard to ensure that individuals have rights beyond what is explicitly stated in the Constitution.
