What are you gonna replace it with? Do you know what an absolute shitshow a constitutional congress would be in this day and age. It would actually be easier to dissolve the United States and run each state as in independent country like in the EU.
You have less faith in your fellow Americans than I do. The key thing to remember is that any amendments proposed in a constitutional convention still need to be returned by 3/4 of the states. That alone will keep anything crazy from being passed.
You don’t understand what a constitutional convention is. It’s a complete rewrite. Proposing amendments to the current constitution is something states can already do.
No, you do not understand. Per Wikipedia:

The only mechanism the states have for directly proposing a constitutional amendment IS a constitutional convention. States can call for a convention for a single amendment. Now, it is scary in that there would be precedent, per the Articles of Confederation, for a convention to just propose anything. The original Constitutional Convention went well beyond its original purview.
Again, there is one and only one mechanism states have for amending the constitution in any form. That is a constitutional convention. Otherwise amendments must be passed by 2/3rds vote through both houses of Congress.
Article V was a product of the constitutional convention. The constitutional convention was not product of Article V.
You should try reading the shit you post.
