Two reference documents:

The first is from the American Legislative Exchange Council and is about 90% accurate. It’s available in a downloadable PDF.

Proposing Constitutional Amendments by a Convention of the States: A Handbook for State Lawmakers

The second fills in some holes from the previous document.

Report of the ABA Special Constitutional Convention Study Committee

Take the two documents together, and you have a good picture of how an Amendments Convention would work.

Thanks for the references. I intend to read the pdf(s) later. Do they comport with what Mark Levin has had to say, that they would be for amendments only, and not wide open constitutional conventions?

I read most of the ABA review. The ruling class of 40 years ago argued the judiciary should be involved, and “one-man-one-vote” be the criteria for convention voting. Nonsense.
