Such a convention, as outlined in article five of the Constitution, would allow state legislatures to vote on amendments to add.

The proposed resolution at the #MountVernonAssembly #ArticleV pic.twitter.com/8YGlnupPiONo constitutional amendment has been added this way, but some say the Constitution specifically allows for states to use the convention as a means to push back against the federal government.

Two-thirds of the state legislatures, or 34, must approve an application for a convention to occur, according to the Constitution's article five. State legislatures would then send delegates to the convention, each state getting one vote on proposed amendments. For an amendment to pass and become a part of the Constitution, it would have to be approved by three-fourths, or 38, of the state legislatures.
