Meer over het boek
The book explores the amendment process of the U.S. Constitution as outlined in Article V, highlighting the challenges of obtaining two-thirds majorities in Congress for proposals. It critiques the perceived difficulty of this process while noting that state legislatures have largely overlooked the alternative method of calling a convention to propose amendments. This convention approach, which requires a two-thirds majority of state legislatures, offers a significant yet underutilized avenue for constitutional change that also necessitates ratification by three-fourths of the states.
