Could probably do that to get rid of the alphabet soup agencies. We already have the 10th amendment, but the federal government obviously ignores it.

Want to limit the powers of the Federal Government and their cramming progressive ideology down America’s throat?

end the Federal Reserve. A free-market currency, out of the control of politicians, central planners and crony-capitalists will starve government of the printed money and debt it needs to survive. America became the largest economy and greatest power in the world without any soviet-style central planning.

yes, its that simple.

They don’t follow the current Constitution they won’t follow a new amended one either.

"Republican Rep. Judd Matheny of Tullahoma, a supporter of the measure, said the resolution should serve as a signal to the federal government that state legislatures are serious about wanting a greater say."

Note that the Founding States had originally given the power to vote for federal senators uniquely to state legislatures.

But state lawmakers foolishly ratified the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A) in 1913, foolishly giving up their voices in Congress by doing so. State lawmakers caved in to pressure by citizens who had been spooked by the anti-constitutional republic Progressive Movement and ratified 17A.

It is very unlikely that the collective wisdom of the people at a new constitutional convention will equal that of the founding fathers.
