The linked article starts out with a fundamentally wrong statement & all the people below posting have fallen into the trap!
AN ARTICLE V CONVENTION IS NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION!
Its a convention to propose amendments That is all it can do.
Then the states have to decide yay or nay on the amendments!
And yes I know the original Constitutional Convention was called to simple amend the Articles of Confederation. I think the legal structures & “custom” are stronger here then in May 25 1787 (When the Constitutional Convention started!), and that will keep it strictly and Article V convention.
Yes I could be wrong but I think its worth the risk!
Thank you for the clarification. :)
Q: And the way to prevent them from amending the present Constitution away to be something else entirely is?
A: Nothing but unwarranted confidence that they won’t.
We already have the Law we need. We only need to have the federal obey it for a change.
