FACTS **MYTH** : ** THERE ARE NO RULES FOR CONVENTION** • Historical precedent. 40+ interstate conventions. • Convention can only act on agenda set by 34 state applications • One vote per state. • Majority of states present, and voting required for adoption of any measure. FACTS **MYTH:** ** IT CAN REWRITE OUR CONSTITUTION** • By the plain text of Article V, a convention can only “propose amendments” to “this Constitution.” • Only extremely popular amendments can be proposed and ratified (38 states to ratify). • Article V gives no authority to rewrite the Constitution. FACTS **MYTH:** ** NULLIFICATION IS THE ANSWER** • Constitution gives the states no power of nullification, except through Article V. • Many federal actions (spending, treaty-making, enforcement of federal laws against individuals) can't be stopped through nullification. FACTS “One of the painful realities of our times is how long a political lie can survive, even after having been disproved years ago, or even generations ago.” //(540)441-7227 | CONVENTIONOFSTATES.COM // //FACEBOOK.COM/CONVENTIONOFSTATES | X/COSPROJECT// — Thomas Sowell  https://conventionofstates.com/learn-more FOR EVEN MORE INFORMATION VISIT: 1 What is an Article V Convention? DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION AND AN ARTICLE V CONVENTION An Article V convention is directed by the state legislatures for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution. It is not a constitutional convention. It cannot throw out the Constitution because its authority is derived from the Constitution. The Article V convention’s only power is to propose amendments to our current U.S. Constitution, which must fit the scope of the state applications and be ratified by law.
