I think agreement would be easier at this point. The difference is that we have a great Constitution as a starting point and potentially an ending point. I think many states would give up on wants to avoid opening other parts of the Constitution to debate.
Three of the reasons I disagree:
First only 13 states, second they had the Declaration of Independence to refer to for why they wanted to be free, third and this is a big one, third, they all knew the Declaration of Independence and what they were trying to avoid a government doing.
Today, 99.9% of those who want a Constitution of the States, that I have met, have never read the entire Constitution. Most think it, the CC, will only deal with taxes and term limits. They do not understand what an Open Convention can do and that the liberal states will have people there too.
No, we will stick with either Donald Trump or Civil War/Secession.
Maine is lucky, we have Canada on our north and most of our west, and we have an airbase that Russia would love to lease. That kind of insures us that if it comes to the union breaking up, due to civil war, AKA anyone but Donald taking the oval office on Jan 20, 2017. That we will have the time we need to ratify our, already in the works, Constitution and get our infrastructure back up and running and our government in order.
Let’s hope the R convention goes smoothly and that the general election goes smoothly and honestly as well.
