An Article V Convention of States is not a constitutional convention.

Then what is it, especially when we see the Constitution being trampled on today, the long-term erosion of the 10th Amendment (which also makes attacks on the 1st and 2nd more likely to be successful, how can a Constitutional provision to address the Constitution, not be Constitutional?

The Constitution is what it is - no "Noble Cause" clauses and no "My Personal Opinion In This Area Differs" clauses.

There are other people who have actually studied this and written books about it, people like Mark Levin, who has been advocating an Article V convention of the states for years.

Levin says it is NOT a Constitutional Convention, which would be hijacked by the Left.

How many years have you studied it and advocated for it?

How many books have you written about it?

A constitutional convention would rewrite the constitution.

An Article V convention would begin the process of the STATES adding amendments to the existing constitution.

You’re not advocating getting a bunch of Washington DC swells getting together to rewrite the constitution for their benefit, are you?
