Fearing an Article V convention of states is inappropriate. It amounts to not trusting, as they were called by the founding fathers, the “people”. Jefferson would be horrified!

We have lost the single most important working principle behind the document and its philosophy of governance, the actual representation of the people. Returning to the constitution as written must mean one representative for every 30,000 persons!

Does anyone know what it is now?

About 720,000 per rep.
