Objections to COS

Old myths die hard.


“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.”

The Framers of the Constitution unanimously approved the Article V convention clause and trusted constitutional authorities — including Michael Farris (attorney, constitutional appellate litigator, founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association and Patrick Henry College, and former President and CEO of Alliance Defending Freedom) — have verified its efficacy. 

But old myths die hard.

Despite producing hundreds of resources from lawyers and leading constitutional scholars supporting Article V, Convention of States continues to encounter long-since debunked misconceptions and fallacies about the process.

Regardless of where you stand on this issue, we invite you to explore the sweeping repository of information concerning, among other topics, the history of conventions, the limited nature of an Article V convention, the ratification process, and the 1787 Constitutional Convention. As you do, ask yourself: Have not the accusations against COS already been resolved?

Dive in today to learn the truth about Article V and the solution as big as the problem!
