Practical impossibility or not, you make my point: the states authorized delegates to “amend” the Articles, not throw them out.

Not true. Each state delegation arrived with commissions. There is for instance, equality of state suffrage in the senate because the small states rejected Madison’s plan of proportional state representation.

There was going to be a federal convention regardless of whether congress called for one or not.
