Who Says It's a Constitutional Convention? (Part 1)

That Provident Article

Today's episode will begin a series considering the phrase "Constitutional Convention", as it has been used for decades to describe the second mode of amending the Constitution as defined in Article V. This will be an introductory presentation, laying some basic ground work, highlighting both opponents and proponents of an Article V "convention for proposing amendments" using the phrase "Constitutional Convention", and beginning the discussion regarding whether that is helpful, or harmful, to the understanding of the meaning of Article V. The news segment will be a bit longer, as we missed last week's news, so we have two weeks of news to cover. We will definitely allow time for phone calls as well.
