But the Delegates ignored the federal and State limitations and wrote a new Constitution.
Because of this inherent authority of Delegates, it is impossible to stop it from
happening at another convention.
The Delegates also instituted an easier mode of ratification. Whereas Article XIII of the
Articles of Confederation required approval of all of the then 13 States before an amendment
could be ratified; Article VII of the new Constitution provided that only 9 States were
required for ratification of the new Constitution.
Why is an Article V Convention Dangerous?
So! Do you see?
If we have a convention today, there is nothing to stop Delegates from proposing a new
Constitution with its own new method of ratification.
New Constitutions are already prepared and waiting for a convention. Here are three:
• Fifty years ago, the Ford & Rockefeller Foundations produced the Constitution
for the Newstates of America. It is ratified by a referendum called by the
President [Art 12, Sec. 1]. If we have a convention, and Delegates propose the
Newstates Constitution, it doesn’t go to the States for ratification – it goes
directly to the President to call a Referendum. The States are dissolved and
replaced by regional governments answerable to the new national government.
Read the Newstates Constitution and tremble for your country.
• The Revolutionary Communist Party, USA has a Constitution for The New
Socialist Republic in North America.
• The Constitution 2020 movement is funded by George Soros and supported by
Marxist law professors and Marxist groups all over the Country, Cass Sunstein
and Eric Holder. They want a Marxist Constitution and they want it in place by
the year 2020. It further appears that Soros is funding much of the current push
for an Article V convention.
Warnings from the Wise
Brilliant men have warned against an Article V convention. It is immoral to dismiss their
warnings:
• Alexander Hamilton writes of “the utter improbability of assembling a new
convention, under circumstances in any degree so favorable to a happy issue, as
those in which the late convention met, deliberated, and concluded…” Federalist
No. 85 (9th para)
•James Madison writes in his Nov. 2, 1788 letter to Turberville that he
“trembled” at the prospect of a second convention; and that an Article V
Convention would give “the most violent partizans” and “individuals of insidious
views” “a dangerous opportunity of sapping the very foundations of the fabric” of
our Country. In Federalist No. 49, he shows that the convention method is NOT
GOOD to correct breaches of the federal constitution because the People aren’t
philosophers – they follow what influential people tell them! And the very
legislators who caused the problem would get themselves seats at the convention
so they could control the outcome.
