Volume II of The Rights Retained by the People explores how the Ninth Amendment affects the proper way of interpreting the Constitution as a whole.
Contributors: Sotirios A. Barber, Michael W. McConnell, Sanford Levinson, Stephen Macedo, Andrzej Rapacznski, Thomas C. Grey, Lawrence G. Sager, Morris S. Arnold, Earl M. Maltz, Susanna Sherry, Calvin R. Massey, Thomas McAffee and Raoul Berger.
Together with Volume I, which covers primarily the history and proper interpretation of the amendment itself, these books constitute the definitive reference work on the Ninth Amendment.
The provocative essays in this collection not only restore the Ninth Amendment as a topic for serious constitutional consideration, they also make important contributions to theories of constitutional interpretation. Any scholar interested in the future course of constitutional development must take these essays seriously.
