... through a little-known (emphasis added) provision that gives states rather than Congress the power to initiate changes.

The article is right. Although it takes less than a minute to read Article V, the relatively few provisions in Article V are little-known -- but they shouldn't be. Every high school student should be required to know the simple options for amending the Constitution in Article V before being allowed to graduate.

When I was a public school student we WERE required to know that along with a lot of other things that people who hold a degree in history or political science or any other degree don’t know now. I had to be able to write out the whole procedure of how a bill goes through congress and explain what a “pocket veto” was. We even understood that any “money” bill could only originate in the house, not the senate. Seems even people in the senate and house don’t know that now.
