when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress;

This last part is where lurks the danger of a runaway convention. Article V. lets Congress determine all of the modalities, that are dangerously ambiguous and undefined here. We know what the state legislatures are, but what the heck are "Conventions in three fourths thereof?" Who defines the places and times and delegates to these state ratifying conventions? It implies that Congress does, but this is not stated explicitly, Article v. only says that Congress chooses the "Mode of Ratification." But who organizes and chooses the voting delegates at these conventions? It is said nowhere, and in this there is great room for mischief, as I described in my fictional "Kangaroo Convention" back at reply 49.

I fear a con-con during a period of great national stress, with a 'rat congress pushing and running the show, and defining the means and choosing the delegates to bogus "state ratifying conventions" that the Congress would then endorse as valid.
