WE understand all that.
But to ‘change’ our founding documents, the opposition needs to scrap the whole thing and start over.
That’s why they are calling for a ‘Constitutional Convention’...for a NEW document.

Will report further, I am taking a class on the subject,”Does the US need a new Constitution?” You’d be surprised that some in the class DO think it’s time to scrap the old one to be ‘progressive’...

To start over with a new constitution, they would first have to amend Article V to allow it.

We’ll all never agree on key points, namely, where does individual responsiblity end and social (government) responsibility begin. This is crucial to defining a new social pact, and I know I will never agree with the “liberal/leftist” view which reduces the individual to a resource/thing/number/member-of-a-group.
