There is a total of 27 amendments in the constitution. The first ten are known as the Bill of Rights and were added before the Constitution was ratified by 9 of the 13 states in 1789. The rest came off and on through the years. The 13, 14, and 15 are after the civil war and they make citizens of the slaves and give the right to vote to slaves. The 19th gives women the right to vote and was added in 1920. The last one added lowered the age of voting from 21 to 18 and that was added in 1971. It was argued that if a person could fight for their country at 18 they should be able to vote as well.
