The most recent amendment that has been adopted is the 27th Amendment.
You may be referring to any number of suggested "28th" amendments. For instance, one would require that any law enacted by Congress apply equally to Congress and the citizens of the United States. Currently, Congress is able to exempt themselves from the legislation by putting in a clause in a bill when no part of the bill will be applied equally to Senators and representatives.
There have also been suggestions for amendments guaranteeing the right to a decent wage, the right to a nonpartisan direct representative democracy, limit to campaign contributions, term limits for congress, and many more during the years before and since 1992 when the last amendment was enacted.

How many more amendments will it take? Aren't five enough? If we revise the fifth amendment will it be the sixth amendment? What will then be the fifth amendment? The fourth? Let's just stick with the fifth amendment we've got. That's what I say. Second opinion: The fifth amendment is fine just the way it is, and the way it has been interpreted under Miranda. If you think it should be revised, contact your congressman/woman or senator and ask that it be changed. p.s. There are 27 amendments right now. If the fifth amendment were changed, it would become the 28th.
