The bill of rights don’t have “articles”.

The articles are of the constitution itself.

The bill of rights are the first ten amendments.

And they are numbered in the order of ratification. So if the second had not been ratified until 1992, then we still have a slavery problem.

Yes, the amendments are numbered sequentially. The second article in the bill of rights took over 200 years before it was finally ratified. It had to do with congressional pay raises. That’s why it’s the 27th amendment.
