The supreme court
When the Supreme Court issues a ruling, there is no further avenue of appeal. That makes them the final authority.
In a sense, they are the guardians of the Constitution. Each justice takes two oaths of office swearing to uphold its principles. They are also the final authority on interpreting the meaning of the Constitution.
Do you mean "how MANY words were in the final constitution"?
According to the US Constitution itself, the United States Supreme Court is the final interpreter of the Constitution. The Court's decisions are final and are seldom changed.
AnswerThe Constitution was engrossed, meaning that it was written in large letters by some printers, and only as a final formality. Like the Declaration, it was printed before its signing. On the final copy, the names of the states in front of the signatures, however, are handwritten by Alexander Hamilton (the sole New York delegate at the convention).

The final signatory to the US Constitution was June 21st 1788.
In a way whatever body makes the final interpretation of the Constitution is the Supreme Court - that is what the term implies. That is mostly what the Supreme Court is designed to do. One might argue that the way the Court is chosen should be different, but the current system seems to have worked well for more than 200 years- I am not inclined to change it at this time. Further, the Constitution can be changed without the Court's approval, so Supreme Court rulings are not truly final. For example, the Court once ruled that slavery could not outlawed by a state law.
The final section of the US Constitution is the Twenty-seventh Amendment. It prohibits a pay increase or decrease for Congress until the start of the next term.
The final draft of the unamended US Constitution was written on September 17, 1787.
