The National Archives is the administrator for Constitutional amendments. The process with them is well-defined.
Many states have even very recently submitted proposed Constitutional Amendments. This is not at all an unknown process.
What is different is to call a convention for proposing amendments where all the states work together to sort out which proposals will garner 2/3s support.
But the process of submitting them is the same. Congress gets to do only one thing and that is to determine during the ratification process whether the amendment goes back to the state legislatures or to state conventions of delegates.
The state legislatures setup their respective state convention of delegates.
This process has been done often before and the only difference is to call a convention of states. The 17th Amendment was initially a convention of states application but Congress realizing the people were serious decided to take it up themselves. However, they did choose the convention of delegates approach to ratification because it conformed with the popularism at the time.
All the above is for the benefit for the readers looking in. You on the other hand have made wrong statements and have attempted to defend or to promote hysterical notions that have no basis in reality or history. Thus, you should take the time to research and get your facts straight before spouting off. Engage the brain before letting the tongue fly.
The national archives has no constitutional power and no power whatsoever with regard to a state initiated amendment process. There has never been State convention convened for the purpose of offering constitutional amendments before so there is absolutely no precedent for conducting the same. Other than the 2/3s requirement convening the convention to offer amendments and the 3/4 requirement to ratify an amendment there are no rules for the process at all. They would be making them up as they wenet along with nothing to bind them. You haven't refuted a point I've made yet, If you can offer a shred of constitutional authority to refute the above I'd love to see it.
