How many amendments have been added to the constitution since 1791

17 amendments

Why was the constitution written to be vague and act as a guiding principle of government

The constitution was written to be vague and act as a guiding principal of government so that the power would stay with the people. This allows for the people to have their say and for things to change from generation to generation.

Why did authors of the Constitution intentionally make the addition of amendments dependent on the support of a majority of the American public

To give the people control over their own government.
