Ninth Amendment
"The enumeration in the Constitution (narrative), of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
The ninth amendment is telling us that even thought there are rights that are not cited in the Constitution, it doesn't mean they can be violated. Like for example: right to privacy.
This is an interesting article that talks about how the ninth amendment could extend privacy to our personal electronic devices. The same way police can't search us without permission, they shouldn't be able to access our devices.
The illustration relates to the ninth amendment because the 9th amendment gives power to the people in the sense that you have other rights apart from the ones that appear on the constitution.
