We’ve only used this twice? With everything that has happened in the last 100+ years, the only other time we convened was to get our booze back?

Don't confuse a Convention of the States with State Ratifying Conventions. They are two very different things.

A Convention of the States is where states send delegates to propose amendments.

State Ratifying Conventions are where voters elect delegates to ratify amendments. Congress decides whether states will ratify via legislatures or via conventions.

Please re-read my boilerplate.
