This amendment was a simple repeal of the national experiment, proved to be unwise. A constitutional convention is the dream-come-true for those who wish limitations be removed from government powers. You may notice, those who cheer for the constitutional convention have yet to declare what proposals they endorse. Restore the Republic? Yes, that would best be accomplished by repeal of the Seventeenth (direct election of senators), not by a wholesale rewrite.
“Yes, that would best be accomplished by repeal of the Seventeenth (direct election of senators), not by a wholesale rewrite.”
Yes, but how do you get that to happen without going through the congress (the senate would never vote on it and it would fail). The answer is a convention to propose amendments to the states.
And proposals have been put forward. Have you read Mark Levin’s book?
