How many amendments did the current constitution of Virginia have?
I tried counting when i looked through the document and found 44 amendments. Not sure if this is right. The amendments are found at the end of each section that has been amended. I just counted those.

How many amendments does Illinois constitution have?
It's surprisingly hard to answer this question, because amendments to the Michigan Constitution are written in as ordinary sections, not added at the end. Amendments are distinguished from original text only in the history note appended to each section. There's a PDF of the Michigan Constitution here, on the state's Web page: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/publications/Constitution.pdf There are 28 occurrences of "Add." in history notes, meaning there have been 28 amendments to the Michigan Constitution since the constitutional convention of 1963. Of those, 17 were citizen initiatives, indicated by "Add. Init." in history notes. However, the constitution has been amended on only 12 occasions since 1963; most of those occasions added or revised multiple sections. 13 May 2009
