"You still have not answered my question. How are you going to ensure that the new laws, and the current constitution are followed?"

If we implement changes like a state repeal amendment, then the states will have to enforce it.

Anything is better than violence because it will achieve nothing but despotism anyway. Likewise, doing nothing - or doing the same old thing - will accomplish nothing. If an Article V convention accomplishes nothing then at least we have lost nothing. At least we tried.

The state and local governments are already responsible for Interposition to ensure that the Feds don't overstep their authority. Unfortunately, they have ducked this responsibility.

For them to do this, they need no further amendments. This was the action the founders intended to keep their sovereignty. If the states band together, and fulfill their responsibility, then violence may yet be avoided.

A convention for further amendments at this point, does nothing but put off the day for the states to do their duty, and gives the Feds even more time to abuse and consolidate their power.
