The first Ten Amendments to the constitution are collectively known as the Bill of Rights and were proposed by Congress on September 25, 1789, and ratified by the States on December 15, 1791.
Were the 10 amendments created at the same time or throughout history?
After the ratification of the constitution the first congress, in 1789, proposed twelve amendments. These were sent to the states for ratification all together in September of that year. Ten of them were ratified by the states and they were formally declared to be in effect on December 15, 1791. Interestingly, the amendments had no time limits on their ratification and one of the two that were not ratified, which was actually second in the list the congress sent to the states, involving pay raises for members of congress, kicked around for a couple of hundred years and was finally ratified in 1992 as the 27th amendment.

Are there any proposed amendments by the Congress that the state refused to ratify?
Yes, this does happen. One good example is the Equal Rights Amendment. It was passed by congress in 1972 and then sent to the states to be ratified. At first, it seemed the amendment would succeed, but after 35 states had ratified it (it needed 38 to become law), the ERA stalled. There was normally a seven year time-limit for an amendment to be ratified, and although the deadline had been extended, by 1982, time ran out and the Equal Right Amendment failed.
What year was the first ten amendements ratified?

Why do you think the US Constitution has been amended only twenty seven times?
Because to amend the Constitution you have to propose an amendment in Congress, then it has to be formally passed by Congress. After being passed by Congress, the amendment is sent to the states to be ratified, but it has to be ratified by 3/4 of the states within a 10 year limit, otherwise the amendment is not added to the list of amendments
