An Article 5 convention would not permit the writing of a new Constitution - it is only for the purpose of proposing amendments to the existing Constitution.
Yea, that's how it get's rewritten. For example the 18th was repealed (rewritten) by the 21st.
They could propose new amendments to clarify the language of the first and or the 2nd.. I dare say that WILL be on the agenda of some.

Clarifications will require clarifications. That's not the kind of amendment that will likely pass muster.
