There are sixteen amendments 10 the

NAL thirteen colonies had ratified the
existing constitution There was We

So the first ten amendments were add

religious freedom. a trial by jury, they
prevent excessive fine, the quartering

The eleventh amendment limited the
power Of the federal courts. and was
recorded and became a part Of the con-
