Which point?

The notion of the runaway convention. Each state appoints its delegates and can fire them if dissatisfied with what they are doing. A supermajority of the legislatures of the several states must approve (ratify) any proposed amendments. That is a very difficult process and many amendments have failed to reach the standard.

Where in the Constitution does it proscribe that each state appoints its own delegates to a constitutional convention called under Article V?
