How many amendments are there in the United States Constitution?

  1. 10.

  2. 27.

  3. 50.

  4. 100.

The correct answer is: 27.

The other options are incorrect because the United States Constitution currently has 27 amendments. Option A (10) is the number of amendments that were initially added with the Bill of Rights. Option C (50) and Option D (100) are significantly higher than the actual number of amendments and may confuse someone who is not familiar with the United States Constitution. Therefore, 27 is the best choice and the correct answer.
