IMO we should probably differentiate between the BOR and amendments which came later

  > IMO we should probably differentiate between the BOR and amendments which came later Of the 27 amendments that have been ratified, the most recent was one of the twelve submitted as the Bill of Rights, so there are literally none that have come later. Sixteen have come in between (one from the BOR was never passed.) Also, the most relevant amendment to the issues upthread, for most purposes in US law (since things like defamation law and most of the cases where the evidence differences matter are state, not federal) is the 14th, which is not part of the BOR.

    Silly nitpicks don't change the fact the first 10 amendments were passed in 1791.

  Universal suffrage amendments came later and we like those too.
