[Wampus SC]

”A Convention for Proposing Amendments…as Part of This Constitution”

Not a good idea. The last time a convention for amending happened, we got a complete rewrite. We lucked out, since the present Constitution is an improvement over the Articles of Confederation in many ways. But there are no guarantees of what would come out of a Constitutional Convention. We might lose the 1st, or 2nd, or 10th Amendment, for example.

There's no guarantee that there would be any provision for giving the states a chance to ratify or reject it.

It's not a good idea. Trying to amend the present Constitution is much better, even if it has to be tried repeatedly.

[Publius]

There's no guarantee that there would be any provision for giving the states a chance to ratify or reject it.

This is flat-out incorrect. Please read the essay I've linked to, and you'll see why this statement is wrong.
