When a law is passed as an act that provides a specific right for the people, that law then has constitutional protection as a right of the people. Later the law is changed to restrict this right previously allowed, then the new restriction shall be considered in contempt of the 9th Amendment, that law then becomes unenforceable and deleted for its applied change to restrict a previous right. The greater right for the people shall prevail.
The 9th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution has a duty for the judiciary to maintain a responsibility to respect the greater right of the people for the limitation of the jurisdiction of the law. This is also a requirement for all law makers, the judiciary, and law enforcement agencies per their oath of office to defend the Rights of the people to the constitution. It is the 9th Amendment mandate for the attitude of Government to the people. I.E. When in doubt, the greater right of the individual shall prevail.
Where a judgment for the right of the people is in conflict between interpretation between the Supreme Court of the United States and the Supreme court of the individual states, that which provides the greater respect for the right of the people, shall prevail. This is responsibility of respect for the rights of the people under the10th Amendment, and if a more restrictive law is created by the state than the federal law, then the federal law shall relieve the restriction of the state law based on the 9th Amendment.
All interpretation are relative to the responsibility and duty of the 9th Amendment. That it represents a personal individual right for each and every one of us, that majority right’s do not trump individual rights protected by the 9th Amendment, and the 10th amendment.
The “Blessings of Liberty” are our God given right to freedom, please do not allow a government legislature to destroy it as they are attempting to do in California. We the people have the initiative process to declare the stated interpretation of the 9th and 10th Amendment as the Constitutional law of the State of California. Let us do so. It will force the debate on to the national stage to force a national interpretation to provide the same.

I am writing with concern for our individual rights to liberty for the people.
We have become a nation where our nation prison system is a for hire service, with the objective of financial gain, to the point of corruption through support of political candidates, for more restrictive regulations and law making. A money making proposition for law enforcement, the attorneys, prison systems, and the courts. The injustice to the people is representative of the tyranny of a police state in violation of the Constitutional mandate to ” secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity”… The original intent of our United States Constitution.
It is in the interest of our nation to codify the responsibility to the liberty of the people as protected by the 9th and 10th Amendments of the Constitution. Here is an understanding of the necessary duty to codify.
The U.S. Constitution, 9th Amendment is there for that purpose to protect the individual liberty of the people. Quoted here: “The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” This Amendment has a Constitutional mandate that protects the peoples rights as Noted in the Articles and List of Amendments of the United States Constitution, but not limited to them only. It establishes a mandate to the rights of the people that we call “freedom” as stated by the clause Of the 9th Amendment “ Shall not be construed to deny or disparage Others” (Meaning Other Rights) “ Retained by the people.”
The other rights of the people are those common to the individual survival, property rights, free trade, and freedom of the people for which common acceptance of society has understood the sense of this respect, but not limited too. Some settled law limitations have been determined in the past as an institutional constriction of these rights, which previously have not been judged to the responsibility of the 9th Amendment.
These judgements of law shall not continue to be subject to reference of acceptable judgement.
