The given statement "according to the ninth amendment, the only rights citizens have are the ones listed in the bill of rights" is false.
According to the Ninth Amendment, the only rights citizens have are not limited to the ones listed in the Bill of Rights.
The Ninth Amendment states: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
This means that the rights of the people are not limited to those specifically listed in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.
The Ninth Amendment is often interpreted as affirming the existence of unenumerated rights, which are rights that are not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution but are retained by the people
Therefore, the Ninth Amendment expands the scope of rights beyond those explicitly listed in the Bill of Rights.
