>> The common contention that congress had authority over the 1787 convention is another example of deceit making its way around the globe before the truth gets its boots on.

Since you replied to my post why not address the content of that post?

Which is little different than the Convention called by Congress on February 21, 1787 (obviously not an art. V convention as that did not yet exist) which specified that states were to choose delegates for “the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation”. Those delegates threw out the Articles of Confederation.

The point of that post is that the 1787 Convention was called for “the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation”, a limited call just as the current call is intended for limited purposes.

Boilerplate doesn't address the point.

Huh? Then why repeat historic nonsense?

The congressional resolve was 100% irrelevant, of no force whatsoever. Delegates were responsible to their states, not congress.

The modern purpose of the irrelevant resolve is to cast specious, ignorant doubt on the legitimacy of the subsequent constitution. Almost every opponent of Article V at FR trots out this strawman garbage.
