The first ten Amendments were ratified together, reaching ratification by three-quarters of the States then comprising the Union, on December 15, 1791. Previously, Amendments I-X were considered the "Bill of Rights". Modernly, the Bill of Rights is considered only Amendments I-VIII, because only these Amendments describe individual rights.

What do you call the first amendmets to US Constitution?

The traditional answer is that Amendment I through Amendment X, ratified by 1791, formed the Bill of Rights. More modern Constitutional scholarship holds that if one conceives of the Bill of Rights as a manifesto of individual rights, this is only comprised by Amendments I through VIII, as Amendment IX and Amendment X refer to residual rights reserved to the people and the States.
