1. To give our 223-YO Engine an overhaul 2. To keep pols, judges, and media harnessed. 3. To "fix" abuses, misuses, and vaguerities that exist. 4. My issues and so on will come in later posts.
I appreciate your reply, ernst. I figured you'd be on this right away. Please hear me out. I probably won't get it all out tonight.that would be a dangerous thing.
if a constitutional convention would ever be held, ..you would have every special interest group, person with political power, trying in put something into the constitution for their benefit.

sure i understand why people want to amend it, ...i am just saying your going to have people lining up, trying to get something into the constitution that only benefits them.
`Unless it bans abortion, I'm not interested in revising the Constitution.
Lose the 10th Amendment. Rewrite the 2nd Amendment. Kill the 11th Amendment.
So what are the top issues of the day we are unable to solve to the potential demise of our Country? 1) My #1 is the misuse and abuse of the 10th amendment, whether it be with social subissues, gun subissues, pollution, economics, etc. We are supposed to be ONE Nation, the UNITED States.
Yes, we are one nation.
Not fifty.
So basically do away with a republican form of government.......that's the whole reason I oppose anything of this sort.
The OP did not say this. Since this is an OPEN thing, everyone must stay on their toes and start playing nice. The original convention was not e-mailed in. They started at the local levels. So should we.
Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a federal, and not a national constitution--federalist 39
we have a federal government, not a national, were the government controls eveything.
If you would like it to be called a Federal CC, I'm good with that. I would rather enjoy you at the Federal CC level taking on the 17th, if it got that far.
Yes, we are one nation.
Not fifty.
The OP didn't say it but the person I replied to made suggestions which would have exactly that effect.
Everyone has their top issue. You should get the floor at your county convention to speak against abortion. Everyone has a right to how they rank their issues, in your case, social conservatism.

That person would get his/her chance to speak, beginning at the county level. Having no limit on the FCC would allow the 50 states to convene in hours to take up emergencies that we cannot foresee at this moment.
The Republican Form of government is one in which the powers of sovereignty are vested in the people and are exercised by the people, either directly, or through representatives chosen by the people, to whom those powers are specially delegated, individuals retain sovereign prerogatives over their private property rights (absolute ownership) of their person, labor and property.
The democratic form of government, in which the powers of sovereignty are vested in the whole body of free citizens[a collective), individuals do not retain sovereign prerogatives over their private property rights, of their person, labor and property.
The U.S. Constitution guarantees a republican form to the states. (See Art.4,Sec.4)
