Q: How many amendments does the U.S. Constitution have?

Twenty-seven (27). The Constitution has 27 amendments. The first ten make up the Bill of Rights, and 17 more were added later, such as amendments ending slavery and expanding the right to vote. So few amendments exist because the amendment process is deliberately hard.
