Article
V of the U.S. Constitution outlines two methods for amending the
Constitution. The first method allows for Congress to originate an
amendment and the second provides for a convention of the states. The
second method has never been used. The founders specifically provided
that method to allow the people and the states the ability to reign in
an over reaching federal government. However, there are some fears and
some dangers to an Article V amending convention.
Is today’s federal tyranny demanding that we bring the government back
within its constitutional limits? Does that need now outweigh the fears
and dangers of an amending convention? Did the Founders provide us with
the remedy in Article V? These questions need serious consideration. Tea
Party Patriot’s Article V Symposium will tackle those questions by
discussing the historical context of Article V, including the historical
pros and cons. We will also discuss the current pros and cons and
proposed amendments that are being promoted by various pro-convention
groups.
Join us for this discussion to become well informed about this very
important issue permeating our political discussions. The schedule is as
