Such a great answer you gave, and then you lost the ball on the 1-yard
line. Isn't that the way it happens.

Ten (though I've had others claim others are included in the BoR).


As originally proposed, it had twelve, but two of them were not ratified.

One of those two was eventually ratified as Amendment 27 -- two centuries after it was
proposed.
