9th Ammendment: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

While the constitution expressly gives the Congress the power to tax and to raise revenue (and indeed compels it to do so by requiring that remuneration to its officers, any two-year term of militia, establishment of post offices and roads, maintenance of a Navy and any other appropriation it may make be paid from a Federal Budget) and it requires Congress to regulate right of commerce and itself, and give it powers to establish laws of naturalization it does not give Congress the right to regulate rights of people. This amendment gives power to the people just as surely as the preceding document gives power to the congress, the executive and the courts.
