History US Government. The Ninth Amendment was part of the Bill of Rights that was added to the Constitution on December 15, 1791. It says that all the rights not listed in the Constitution belong to the people, not the government. Judge Robert Bork called the Ninth Amendment a meaningless inkblot on the Constitution. 2  The Ninth Amendment was cited by the Supreme Court in the famous Roe v. Wade case. 3  Some judges have said that this amendment is not a source of additional rights, but simply a rule about how to read the Constitution.
