“I’m dubious about this... what’s the assurance that the provisions of the current Constitution will remain? Liberals would love nothing more than to wipe away the 1st and 2nd Amendments.”
It’s just a means for the states to submit amendments to the states. Amendments that would never get through the Congress. 17 state legislatures could stop any amendment.
You can’t change the Constitution with a minority!!! 2/3 of the states must ratify any changes to the Constitution!!
And since there are 26 Blue states then the chance of any amendment that Conservatives want being adopted is nill.
Thirteen. 3/4ths are required for ratification - that's 38.
