There has been a Constitutional question out there that no one has been able to really answer for me yet:

When a Constitutional Convention is called, is the matter(s) laid down in the Convention document the only ones that may be discussed?

It is not a constitutional convention (CC). It is a states convention that proposes amendments in accordance with the Constitution to the already existing Constitution. It takes 2/3s of states to propose an amendment. That’s 34 states. Then it takes 3/4s of states to ratify the amendment, that’s 38 states.

There is no risk of states conventions becoming a full blown CC that will run amok.

I believe it's all open and fair game ... like the muslim brotherhood in Egypt .. the victory goes to the best organized
