Yes, Madison was pretty flippant about the Articles on Confederation, wasn't he?

Are you of the opinion that the US Constitution was unlawfully brought into being?

If you choose to stand on the legal pillar that says a COS cannot make dramatic changes, then yes, the current constitution is not legal because the delegates that went in 1787 did not have the power to draft a new constitution.

That said, I am of the opinion that anything can come out of a convention which is based upon our known history.

To that end, I do not wish to see any kind of convention where delegates gather believing they are supported by the power of the people.
