In post #144 I provided a link to the Indiana statute regarding its delegation to an amendments convention.

Delegates will do the will of their legislatures.

By 'authorizing legislation,' I hope you don't mean any limitation from Congress, for Congress has zero control over an amendments convention.

Please detach yourself from our tyrants in DC when considering an Article V federal convention. Any state that applies for an amendment convention will not appoint a sitting US congressman or senator.

No, I was referring to the state legislation, which once passed by the required number of states, creates the convention.

How do you know a convention for amending the constitution under Article V will be made up of representatives from the States? Where does it say that in the US Constitution?

What if there isn't any delegation from Indiana or any other State? What if Congress appoints a group of Members of Congress and a couple US Supreme Court Judges to rewrite the US Constitution?
