Question

1.7 5. Explain how Amendments IX and X affirm the rights of states and individual citizens.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

The answer is below

Explanation:

Amendment IX stated that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." This implies that for the fact that some certain rights were not included in the Bill of Rights particularly about individual citizens' natural rights, it does not necessarily mean it's nonexistent.

While Amendment X stated that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This implies that States or people may define and uphold their own laws and policies in as much it does not contradict with those expressly stated in the constitution or supremacy of the federal government.
