The Plan

A convention of states is a convention called by the state legislatures for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution. They are given power to do this under Article V, Section 2 of the Constitution.

Convention for Proposing Amendments -- Proposed Rules

The rules presented to the legislators are only a draft. They are based on the historical record of interstate conventions, and Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure used by most state legislatures. But now, legislators will be spending some time hashing out some of the finer details through an online, interactive portal we've created for them.
