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.
