the ninth amendment

The tenth Amendment best addresses the fears of Federalists like James Madison, that rights and powers not specifically listed in the Constitution or Bill of Rights will not be protected in the future

Explanation:

On December 15, 1791, The Tenth Amendment of the constitution under the Bill of Rights was enacted. It represents the principle of federalism and states' rights, which strictly upholds the whole idea of the original Constitution for the United States of America.

When the Constitution was outlined in the summertime of 1787, its acceptance was far from certain; it still needed to be endorsed by at least nine of the 13 state legislatures. The collapse of the Articles of Confederation made it clear that America needed a new form of government.
