The actual number of amendments that the leaders first proposed was twelve, but two were not ratified at the time.

Explanation:

On September 25, 1789, Congress approved twelve articles of amendment to the Constitution and submitted them to the states for ratification. This was contrary to Madison's original proposal that articles that could be incorporated into the main body of the Constitution were proposed as "complementary" additions to it. On December 15, 1791, articles three to twelve, after being ratified by the required number of states, became amendments from one to ten of the Constitution.

On November 20, 1789, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the amendments. On December 15, 1791, ten of these proposals became the first ten amendments - and official law of the United States - when they were ratified by the Virginia legislature.

Article I, rejected by Delaware, was ratified only by 10/14 states (<75%), and despite Kentucky's late ratification (11/15 states <75%), the article has never received sufficient approval to form part of the Constitution. Article II was ratified by 6/14 states, then by 7/15 states, but did not receive the majority of three-fourths of the states necessary for ratification until 1992 when it became the Twenty-seventh Amendment of the Constitution.
