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.

Again, it is not who called the convention but that it was called for a limited purpose
