The first 10 amendments (more commonly known as The Bill of Rights) were put in place by a forefathers to ensure that Americans retained their rights and freedoms and that the government did not gain too much power. Following this manner, amendments today are made to improve the constitution (such as applying these rights to both genders and all races). Our founding fathers expected such amendments to be made - in fact, they expected the entire constitution to be replaced or otherwise completely remade years before now! Yet not that many amendments are made today due to the difficult manner in which they must be passed.
