How many amendments does the Constitution currently have?

The correct answer is that the Constitution currently has twenty-seven amendments. The process of amending the Constitution was established in Article V, which allows for changes to be made either by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of Congress or by a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures.

The first ten amendments were ratified in 1791 and are known as the Bill of Rights. Since then, an additional seventeen amendments have been ratified, the most recent being the twenty-seventh amendment, which was ratified in 1992. This amendment limits congressional pay increases until after the next election.

It's important to note that while there have been proposals for amendments, only twenty-seven have successfully gone through the rigorous process of ratification and have become part of the Constitution.
