The Bill of Rights included the last two amendments as a cop out against the notion that not any rights that were not mentioned did not exist. The enumerated powers of the government as a specific limitation of its functions. It has no lawful power beyond what is enumerated, but the Bill of Rights is explicitly open-ended, and written as specifically forbidding certain actions of the government (Thou Shalt Not prohibit speech or exercise of religion, Thou Shalt Not infringe upon the right to keep & bear arms, Thou Shalt Not try people without a jury or legal counsel or make them confess), rather than enumerations of the rights of the people, which were presumed to be all encompassing.
