And notice how showing this pointing with the closest specificity they can at the first amendment help in showing that they had thought about doing that and had chosen to do it from the beginning. Also notice how, unlike number 1 in section 9 of the constitution, the content of the first amendment seem significantly more versatile. It is more like the whole section 9. That helps in suggesting that if the intention is to apply that specificity of pointing at congress to the rest of the amendments they could have been also mentioned as parts of the first. Also, if there was any intention to continue applying specifying congress to the rest then probably other amendments would have been better fit to follow the first because of the closeness in content. Also notice how the third amendment could suggest that the order in which any amendment may appear may not be entirely dependent on its relative significance to the rest.
