According to the 9th amendment, what are citizens entitled to?

A lawyer in criminal trials
Rights not listed in the Constitution
Protection from double jeopardy
Freedom of religion

The correct answer is: Rights not listed in the Constitution

The other options listed do not accurately reflect the meaning of the 9th amendment. Option A is covered by the 6th amendment, Option C is covered by the 5th amendment, and Option D is specifically stated in the 1st amendment. The 9th amendment, often referred to as the "catch-all" amendment, ensures that citizens have rights beyond those that are explicitly listed in the Constitution. This amendment was included to prevent the government from using the list of rights in the Constitution as an excuse to limit or deny other rights of the people. Therefore, citizens are entitled to rights that are not specifically stated in the Constitution according to the 9th amendment.
