Since 1989 when the first 11 amendments that make up the Bill of Rights were added to the Constitution only 15 more amendments have been ratified

1 answer

Actually, the Bill of Rights, which consists of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, was ratified in 1791. Since then, a total of 27 amendments have been ratified. The first ten amendments are often referred to as the Bill of Rights, but there have been a total of 17 additional amendments (from the 11th to the 27th) ratified since the original Bill of Rights.

If we consider the amendments ratified post-Bill of Rights, the last one to be ratified was the 27th Amendment, which was proposed in 1789 and ratified in 1992. This amendment deals with congressional pay adjustments.
