Which action would be protected by the Ninth Amendment? refusing to pay sales tax on an automobile purchase insisting on assembling with others at a city council meeting creating a personal page on a social media site to share content explaining medical problems to a personal physician in confidence

Respuesta :

The answer is "explaining medical problems to a personal physician".

The motivation behind the Ninth Amendment is to secure the citizens' rights that aren't really said somewhere else in the Constitution, similar to one side to protection or the privilege to marry. It likewise keeps the infringement of those rights by the legislature. Or maybe, it ensures that rights that are not particularly written in the Constitution might be held by the general population, similar to one side to wed or the privilege to pick one's own particular profession.

The last answer is the correct answer:  explaining medical problems to a personal physician in confidence.

In having such a conversation with a personal physician, an individual has an expectation of privacy and confidentiality.  A specific "right to privacy" is not detailed within the United States Constitution, but the 9th Amendment states, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."  The 9th Amendment has been seen as a place where rights to privacy are protected.  Famously, the case of "Roe v. Wade," which dealt with a woman seeking medical assistance in terminating a pregnancy, revolved around these issues.   "Jane Roe" was a pseudonym used for the court case.  Attorneys for "Jane Roe" challenged the state law that prohibited abortion except "”for the purpose of saving the life of the mother," with Dallas County District Attorney named as the defendant to represent the state of Texas.  The case ultimately went to the US Supreme Court and rights to privacy and the 9th Amendment became key issues in the decision.
