Zero. Amendment XXVII was the most recent ratified, in 1992. There have been proposed Amendments though.
Florida has had six different constitutions since becoming a state. There have also been several revisions and amendments with these constitutions.
Since the end of the Revolutionary War, the United States has had one constitution, which is the U.S. Constitution ratified in 1788. This document has been amended 27 times, but it remains the foundational legal framework of the country. Prior to the current constitution, the Articles of Confederation served as the first governing document, but it was replaced due to its inadequacies.
26. The 27th Amendment, proposed in 1789, was not ratified completely until 1992, almost 203 years later.
How to organize state government functions. SInce there were states before there was a US federal government, state constitutions were revised after 1789 to address how states would carry out the functions denied to the feds and reserved to the states.
the answer is actually two. The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution of the United States. It was in effect from 1781 to 1789. In 1789, our second (and current) Constitution went into effect after it was ratified by nine of the 13 states.
Louisiana has had more constitutions in its history than Georgia. Since its statehood, Louisiana has adopted multiple constitutions, reflecting its unique legal and cultural history. As of 2023, Louisiana has had eleven constitutions, compared to Georgia's multiple revisions but fewer overall constitutions. This distinction highlights the complex legal landscape of Louisiana compared to other states.
Never. In order for an amendment to be properly ratified, it must be ratified in its EXACT language, by 3/5 of all of the states. While it seems that enough states did ratify a variation of the amendment in some form or another, it was never ratified in its exact language by enough states. This did not, however, prevent it from being added to the Constitution, and becoming de facto "law". It was never properly ratified. There are various institutions offering enormous cash rewards to anybody who can prove otherwise, as of yet, no takers.
1781. Since they required ratification by all thirteen states for the Articles to go into effect, it wasn't until March 1, 1781 that the Articles were finally ratified.
