The New American: Convention of States: "Guidelines" for Writing Amendments to the Constitution - The New American
Convention of States (COS) promotes guidelines for drafting proposed amendments to the Constitution. They suggest regulating government, not private activity. However, the author argues that the ratification of previous amendments like the 16th, 17th, and 18th Amendments prove that three-quarters of states can agree to amendments that regulate private activity. The author warns against the unnecessary risks of a convention and suggests using Article VI to hold state politicians accountable instead. COS's second guideline aims to impose fiscal restraints, limit the power of the federal government, and impose term limits on federal officials, but the author argues that these goals are redundant and will not effectively address the problem.
