Imagine the delegates that California, New York, Illinois and Colorado for example would send to such a convention.

True. But they will be balanced by delegates from Alabama, Texas, South Carolina and Kansas. An Amendments Convention will be representative of America at that time. Will conservative delegates have to contend with progressive delegates? Certainly. But the final product will be representative of all the states.

The question is whether the convention will be proportional like the House, or equal like the Senate?

As I remember delegates would be in proportion to the populations of their respective states. No thanks. We would end up with a totally socialist government.

Exactly. If we are to once again be self-governing, if we are to be once again a compound republic composed of fifty free republics, then whatever is ratified by three fourths of state conventions or legislatures should be in the constitution.
