Defending Constitutional Rights
Proponents of a constitutional convention are currently within six states of the 34 states they need to call a constitutional convention. Most experts agree that if a constitutional convention is called, the actions of the convention could not be limited in advance and delegates could consider any amendments they want to adopt. The constitutional rights and protections for all Americans would be up for grabs. The first and only constitutional convention occurred in 1789. The convention threw out the Articles of Confederation and wrote an entirely new constitution, which is our constitution today. The right to vote and other fundamental rights provided by the Constitution are under attack.
