The Runaway Convention Fallacy
Myths and misconceptions of Article V and proposing constitutional amendments through a convention of the states
Episode # 86
Description
Today on Legalese we have the latest installment in my series "Constitutional Myths and Misconceptions." Today we will be address myths surrounding Article V, which outlines the two methods of amending the Constitution.
We will be addressing the "runaway convention" fallacy. This is the belief that such a convention would be unlimited and uncontrollable in its scope and process.
Fortunately the deep dive into this topic that this episode takes will demonstrate conclusively there is no aspect of that scenario that is supported by our history or our laws.
