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.

How many years did the articles of confederation serve as Americas first national constitution?
They were developed in the years following the declaration of independence (1776), and were finally ratified in 1781. They were probably not conceived of as a 'national constitution' (although all 13 states signed up to them), since the power of central authority was extremely limited. It had no right to levy taxation or enforce a single national currency. The U.S. Constitution was ratified on a state-by-state basis from May 1788 (New York State first) until the end of the year. It was essential to the Federalists' arguments that each and every state ratified the document separately because otherwise it would be regarded as a majoritarian imposition of will(the very thing that the framers sought to avoid).
