Those rights were taken piecemeal by the federal entity starting in 1866 and accelerating after 1933. The states have very few rights that the federal entity respects.

The Constitution of original intent, referred to by the late Robert Bork as "the Constitution in Exile," has been superseded by the Living Constitution. This is the Constitution of penumbras and emanations, the Constitution whose meaning changes even though the words don't change.

So far, 8 states have piled on to Georgia's application language. What these states are applying for is a Convention for Proposing Amendments in which state delegations will formulate structural amendments that will permit the states to take back what the federal entity took from them over the years. There is absolutely no chance that Congress would formulate and pass such amendments on to the states for ratification. Congress will never willingly reduce its own power, for that would violate human nature. Only the states assembled in convention can write the amendments that would strip power from the federal entity and return it to the states where it belongs.

Georgia's application language is the charter for what the states wish to accomplish, and that language was extracted from Mark Levin's book The Liberty Amendments.
