the bill of rights is a safeguard of the rights of the people, it is not their source. is not an exhaustive list of the rights retained by the people. if you read it in conjunction with the tenth amendment, it makes sense.
What I'm getting at is that this, put together with the Fourteenth Amendment, really belies claims that there isn't a right to privacy in the Constitution, that there isn't a right to marry in the Constitution, etc.
Or rather, those rights may not be in the Constitution, but people nevertheless possess them.
Or that those rights may not be specifically mentioned, but bubble terms imply them?
