"Justice" John Marshal (and the consent of his contemporaneous "America") established that your "Constitution" does not invest legal powers in your "dictionaries" but in whatever (the "judicial branch" of) the U.S. government says it does (and, furthermore, only those powers that the body determines it did).
Here is exactly the point.
It is not my Constitution. It is the Constitution of those who take the Oath of Office (required for all government people when they become government people). It is in some ways the Constitution of all people who claim it is their Constitution IF government accepts their claim as valid. The 14th Amendment makes their claim valid. But government wants their claim to be valid anyway, so that government can get more slaves by it.
Since the 9th Amendment is part of the Constitution, the people who take the Oath must uphold the Constitution by following it. This means that anybody who wants out of the slavery need only apply all the rights he had before the Constitution was formed, and he is out.
If people don't understand this difference, and dabble in attempting to handle corporate government matters regarding themselves when they shouldn't be, government can do nothing other than what the Constitution and laws that flow from the Constitution say that should be done. They have to treat the people as though they were in government.
The only way people can dabble in government matters is when they take the Oath of Office after being elected or appointed. Thus the dabblers have no rights except whatever the government says they have.
The way out from under government is to assert the rights had before the Constitution was formed, and to do it in ways that do not dabble in government law. This is common law. It was there before government and the Constitution, is upheld at least by the 9th Amendment (thus government upholds it, even against itself at times), and exists to be used by any people who want to use it. It isn't part of the Constitution or government... although government has created a thing that they call common law, which is not the same as the original common law of the people.
EDIT: Government people who attempt to not allow non-government people out from under the 14th Amendment when these non-government people use the common law to attempt to get out... these government people are criminals, and should be treated as such by their own government.
