In the Federalist No. 84, Alexander Hamilton argued that a Bill of Rights wasn't a good idea because then that would be perceived to be the people's only rights, when in reality they would have others. Both he, Madison, Jay, and others were worried that with a Bill of Rights, other rights wouldn't be given, especially as the times changed.
The ninth amendment, created with Federalist 84 in mind, is there so that all other rights not expressly stated are there, rights that might not have been important in 1787 but are important now. If he did consider it to be the most crucial, then it was because the ninth amendment gave the people all the rights they hadn't thought about/wouldn't become apparent. The ninth amendment is like the giant elastic clause of the Bill of Rights.
