The 9th Amendment and the 14th Amendment are distinct amendments within the United States Constitution.

The 9th Amendment, part of the Bill of Rights, states: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." It emphasizes that the listing of specific rights in the Constitution does not mean that there are no other rights held by the people.

On the other hand, the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, addresses issues related to citizenship, equal protection under the law, and due process. The relevant section of the 14th Amendment states: "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

While the 9th Amendment emphasizes unenumerated rights, it is not specifically found within the text of the 14th Amendment. They address different aspects of constitutional rights and protections.
