That view is the view of libertarians.

There are more folks in the world than libertarians. For instance, our
Founding Fathers were not libertarians.

So they did not mean to adopt its views.

Thus the Ninth Amendment can't mean that govt must follow libertarian
principles.

So what does the thing mean?

Beats me. Far as I can tell, no one knows what it means.

You have a consistent logical theory - which surely is not what was
intended.
