Remember the first American convention eliminated the government existing at the time. The delegates to the initial convention were instructed to merely repair the existing Articles of Confederation. As is well known they did not. Commissions and strictures will not control delegates.
Most importantly our current demographics precludes a common core of values, historical views, culture and traditions. It was the Anglo Americans, that created our present Constitution. We Anglo Americans may end up slaves by the time the Third World delegates get done with a "convention."
It is not the time for a convention. A terrible war must come first and then victorious side will write "The Constitution."

Your erroneous perception of the 1787 federal convention is a Bircher construct. It is wrong. If you wish to get into the details, we can do so.
Next, you imply that delegates will do as they wish, despite the law that defines/construct their commissions. It doesn't stand to reason and clowns of unknown character will not be agents for their states.
If you believe what you wrote, America is not fit for self-government. If that is the case, a convention can do no harm.
What is your solution?
