The United States Constitution has twenty-seven amendments. An amendment is a change or an addition to the Constitution. These amendments help improve the law and protect people’s rights.

The first ten amendments are called the Bill of Rights. They protect basic freedoms, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the right to a fair trial. The other amendments were added later to solve new problems and make the Constitution stronger.

Even today, Congress and the states can add new amendments if many people agree. This shows that the Constitution can change when the country changes.
