I agree. Once they open to a constitutional convention, they can change anything in the Constitution they want.
How about they just hold all accountable to the Constitution.
Today the federal government observes the United States Constitution to the letter. Unfortunately, it's the Living Constitution, the Constitution symbolized as a Tree, the Constitution that evolves and changes even when its words don't change, the Constitution of Penumbras and Emanations, that it observes. The Constitution of Original Intent has fallen by the wayside. Only the states can pick this standard off the ground and carry it forward.
No, any amendments proposed by a convention must be approved by 3/4 of the states before becoming effective. Most people forget that. I know lawyers who aren’t aware of it.
3/4 of states would have to ratify anything proposed..
“Once they open to a constitutional convention, they can change anything in the Constitution they want.”
ding ding ding winner!
Nope. You need to understand the difference between a Constitutional Convention and an Article V Convention of the states. Big difference.
Publius links are a good place to start. Mark Levin’s book “The Liberty Amendments” is another. I confess I did not understand the difference either and at first had the same fears as you. Once I educated myself about Article V I realized how wrong I was and that indeed our founders left us an option to restore the Republic.
You are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t do some research first before reaching a conclusion about it.
You are posting untrue booshwah. Desist.
