"SINGLE ISSUE" AMENDMENT CONVENTIONS
STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY
The States alone have the authority to “limit” the agenda and authority of a Citizen Initiatives. The Constitution does not authorize "Open" Conventions. The States alone can Call for a “Single Issue” Convention that proposes an Amendment. When the States agree among themselves through Interstate Agreements, independent of their "State Resolutions" Calling for a Single Issue Convention, they can determine the purpose, terms, conditions, duration, and agenda at the Convention. When they use Delegate Resolutions they can control the convention with a pre-drafted Amendment without an Interstate Agreement (Article V analysis).
Congress does not have the authority to define a “Single Issue” Convention. Congress’ authority, under Article V of the United States Constitution, empowers it to convene a Convention as Called for and defined by the Several States.
Article V of the United States Constitution reserves to the States the right to "Call" for a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of proposing Amendments to the United States Constitution when Congress and/or the Courts refuse to address an egregious wrong suffered by the people.
Article IV, Section 4 guarantees to every State a Republican Government which gives each State equal standing when Calling for a Constitutional Convention. The smaller States can reclaim the economic and moral high ground in America.
We can reclaim our Constitution through "Single Issue" Citizen Initiatives one grievance at a time. Join us in the most critical and urgent Constitutional battle in our history.
