I think you're intentionally missing the point. First, you don't need 3/4s of the states to be "dominated" by Conservatives. You only need 1/4 + 1 to refuse to ratify any proposed amendment you think would be injurious. Second, if you think only Congress should propose amendments, you're the rankest of elitists. Oh, and if you think Congress will ever propose an amendment that will in any way rein in the increasing power and scope of the federal government, you really aren't paying attention. And you don't know much about basic human nature, either.

WOW! You seem so sure of this Article V Convention and that it will work smoothly.

Who would have thought that a U.S. President would use tax collectors to punish political opponents?

Who would have thought that a U.S. President would collaborate with the politicians of Mexico and Central America to flood our southern border with young children?

Who would have thought that a U.S.President would seduce people, ordinary people, into becoming his ‘Gestapo’ just by arming them with military class weapons?

Who would have thought that a U.S. President would use unmanned missiles to kill Americans and others in foreign nations?

So go ahead, tell me I don’t know basic human nature again; at least I won’t be present to see you get butchered.
