Only 27 Constitutional Amendments have been added because the process of amending the Constitution is difficult.

There are about 4 ways to amend the Constitution and they include:

A Convention of delegates from various states proposing an amendment and then ratifying it by a three-fourths majority of the Convention

Convention of delegates from various states proposing an amendment and then ratifying it by a three-fourths majority of state legislatures.

Two-thirds of Congress proposing an amendment and then it is ratified by a three-fourths majority of state legislatures

Two-thirds of Congress proposing an amendment and then it is ratified by a three-fourths majority of state convention delegates

Not only does an amendment require states to participate, it also requires a super majority of two-thirds or three-fourths. Achieving such a majority is hard due to the ideological differences amongst states.

We can therefore conclude that amending the Constitution is quite difficult and so only a few amendments have been done.
