The ten amendments were introduced to the American Congress on September 28, 1789 but were not actually ratified and placed in the Constitution until December 15, 1791, just over three years later. James Madison proposed and brought these amendments to the attention of the American Congress. He also arrived to Philadelphia the earliest, before everyone which was sometime around May of 1789.

There have been a total of twenty seven amendments created but only the first ten are known best. The Constitution contains four thousand, four hundred words making it the shortest and oldest major government document in the world. There are several spelling errors throughout the document but none of them measure up to the misspelling of Pennsylvania above the signer’s
