An Article 5 convention is NOT a Constitutional convention. All that can happen is amendments can be proposed that have to be ratified by 38 states.

This scare mongering about the left throwing out the Constitution is leftist propaganda trying to scare us off fromsaving America.

It cracks me up when I see comments like that. Was the Constitutional Convention of 1787 a Constitutional Convention? Was it called to write a new Constitution?

The answer is "no". The Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called to make revisions to the Articles of Confederation. It abandoned its original mandate and wrote a new Constitution.
