Article 5 is not a constitutional convention. You can't rewrite the constitution. You can only add amendments. A balanced-budget amendment, for instance. Or an amendment that says that members of Congress cannot exempt themselves from laws they impose upon the peasants.

Article 5 is not a constitutional convention. You can't rewrite the constitution. You can only add amendments.An amendment can also repeal an existing amendment, the way the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment (prohibition).
