The first ten Amendments were ratified together, reaching ratification by three-quarters of the States then comprising the Union, on December 15, 1791. Previously, Amendments I-X were considered the "Bill of Rights".

Modernly, the Bill of Rights is considered only Amendments I-VIII, because only these Amendments describe individual rights. Amendment IX and Amendment X refer to collective, residual rights reserved to the People and to the States.
