You do not want a Convention of the States. You can’t control the agenda.

The Convention of States specifically nulls the request for Convention if it goes outside the scope of what was requested. Besides that 38 states have to ratify any proposed amendment. Congress has had the same power for all its history , why are people not worried about them?

All they will do is propose amendments. The states still must ratify them. What’s out of control about that?
