Answer 1

Hope it helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE just posted The Unknown Bill of Rights, so while we’re in off-topic mode we’ll briefly rant about all the subsequent amendments to the Constitution. Perhaps we’ve gone over the edge, but we think some interesting patterns emerge.

To begin, we’ll repeat the first paragraph of the Preamble to the Bill of Rights:

THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.

By re-arranging some of those Preamble clauses a wee bit, it’s clear that the original Bill of Rights was for the purpose of amending the Constitution to add “further declaratory and restrictive clauses” in order to “prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers,” thereby “extending the ground of public confidence in the Government.”

Fine, but what about the other amendments — those adopted after 1789? There are now 27 amendments, so 17 have been adopted since the first ten. Of those “new” 17, six are what we consider glitch fixes — small refinements and technical clarifications of the original Constitution. That leaves eleven others.
