Call for Convention of States Makes Progress

Momentum is building for a national referendum on limiting federal government power through a convention of states.

A group called Convention of States is leading a grassroots movement by lobbying state legislatures to pass resolutions utilizing the states’ right under Article V of the Constitution for proposing amendments.

Article V established two methods for proposing amendments to the Constitution. The first is through a two-thirds vote in each the House and Senate, which has been the only method used in the nation’s history, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures.
