Everything is a risk. Not having an Article V Convention could lead the federal government continuing to erode our rights. The federal government does that all the time and without the need for 38 ratifications.
How does an Article V Convention prevent the federal government from eroding our rights? How do you structure a new constitution to prevent them from circumventing it or just ignoring it? If the people we send to DC don’t play the game as currently defined in the Constitution, them how do we change our representatives’ attitudes? They have proven that they aren’t afraid of the people any longer.
