27 amendments have been adopted since 1787. The Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments, was adopted in 1791. Since then, 17 amendments have been added.
When the Constitution was first proposed to the 13 colonies, many colonies rejected it because it did not give them the freedoms or rights that they had demanded from the King of England. They demanded that these things be added to the Constitution before they would ratify it. To be productive and to get rid of the Articles of Confederation (the quickly drawn precursor to the Constitution), the Constitution was accepted on the condition that several amendments be attached shortly thereafter. Thus the Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787 and the first 10 amendments were adopted on August 21, 1789, which later became collectively known as the Bill of Rights. In summary, the writers of the Constitution made sure amendments could be added as it was the only way to quickly get the Constitution ratified.
