In Professor Lash's book, The Lost History of the Ninth Amendment, he explains how the Ninth Amendment was originally understood as working alongside the Tenth Amendment in defense of the retained right to local self-government. Instead of justifying judicial invalidation of state law, the Ninth Amendment originally was understood as calling for a limited construction of federal power to interfere with the states. As applied today, this has implications for matters as wide-ranging as state regulation of marriage and local laws permitting medicinal use of marijuana.
