A constitutional convention in today's America would result in converting our Republic into a "democracy" ... something the Founders feared and, from their exhaustive knowledge of history and from their wisdom, rejected outright.

Then, by majority vote of an ignorant, unwise public, capitalism would be replaced by socialism which would then devolve into communism (a tyranny far greater that anything we have in America today). This isn't conjecture ... it's a certainty.

We only need 2 election cycles to not need it. Is our party up to it? I have faith in the public, not so much the voter. It’s up to us and more importantly our elected leaders. It’s going in the right direction as Trump’s out there.

I am not disputing what you say, but consider this, the way we are proceeding, the Democrats are basically doing that now.

Elections laws are changed by fiat, not the State Legislatures that are spelled out in the Constitution.

The Administrative State makes up its own rules outside of the legislature which have the effect of laws.

That's not how it works.

Then, by majority vote of an ignorant, unwise public...

You raise a point that cuts to the heart of the issue.

Do you believe that the American people are no longer capable of self-government? If so, what choices are left?
