Thank you ! You explained much better than I did in my posts 180 and 181. This is SO important for everyone to understand before they trash the whole idea.
Can you please clarify how many delegates each state sends? My understanding is one per state , but many on FR think it would be based on population like house of reps or electoral college. Many dismiss the whole idea on that basis alone.(they figure more populous staetes are veryliberal and would skew the amendments towards very bad proposals ).

My understanding is that apportionment for the amendment convention is not specified in the constitution so that can be decided by the states. I think to truly represent the states it should be one for one for one .
Can you clarify?
