I'd suggest drilling down a bit more on Section 5...
Whatever came from this would be legal proposed amendments that would need 3/4 state-by-state ratification.
And, bear in mind that with each state having 1 vote, that heavily tilts this in favor of more conservative states, and removes the advantage of leftist east/west coastal states.

All amendments proposed by the Article Five convention have to be ratified by the states. All the Article Five convention does is to essentially bypass congress. There is very little chance for mischief.
