>> The original Constitution was not adopted as the result of a runaway convention. Their entire argument is premised on this fallacy.

Will you please clarify or provide something to substantiate this claim?

On February 21, 1787 Congress proposed a Convention for "the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation"

Resolved that in the opinion of Congress it is expedient that on the second Monday in May next a Convention of delegates who shall have been appointed by the several States be held at Philadelphia for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation and reporting to Congress and the several legislatures such alterations and provisions therein as shall when agreed to in Congress and confirmed by the States render the federal Constitution adequate to the exigencies of Government and the preservation of the Union.
