The Constitution is currently the law of the land, so it governs (and restricts certain actions) according to what it says. But, when you have a “Constitutional Convention”, it’s changing the document that governs what we do.

You don’t have delegates limited by a “Constitution” that they are there to change in the first place, doncha know...:-)

Those delegates are “at the top of the heap” at that point.

Check Post #66 which explains the principle of agency. It is that principle which rules and contrains a Convention for Proposing Amendments.

Excuse me but you should study a bit before opining. Recall what Mark Twain said about a fool and his open mouth.

Nothing personal but really you don’t know what you are talking about. Read post #52, it will give a small small primer.

Delegates are nothing unless they control 38 states (3/4s of states). Now who controls more states, conservatives or liberals? Which do you trust with the Constitution? And which amendment types do you think are going to be ratified by 38 states?

38 STATES!!!! NOT DELEGATES!
