Just remember that states have political parties with deep interests and influence, and states have ‘deep states’ too. That is where the representatives to an Article Convention will come from, as the representatives will be appointed by the states.
This could be a Pandora’s Box liberals could only dream of.
If it is a dream for RATS it's apparently a nightmare for them. RAT controlled states Nevada, New Mexico, Maryland and Delaware have rescinded all official requests for a constitutional convention.
States will not send representatives. They will send delegates with commissions that detail their authority and provide felony punishment for violations.
It is difficult to avoid, but its important to remove oneself from the two-party mindset. A convention is not congress. It has more in common with the Electoral College, which along with a COS are the remaining two federal institutions. Members of the Electoral College are also subject to state laws and very few have ever "runaway" and voted against their commissions.
In the big picture, there is no need to worry. The states have made hundreds of applications without Congress calling for a convention. IMO, Congress will never call a convention.
