https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_state_applications_for_an_Article_V_Convention
The Founders unanimously provided Article V option for the states to balance the
federal government’s overreach. More than 400 such state applications have been
filed over the years including the first couple that led to the bill of rights.
As with all amendments to the constitution 38 states (both houses) are required
for ratification. This is an enormously protective requirement that has only been
reached 27 or so times. The COS Project application has already been passed by 8
states and 20 or more state houses. This application is limited to 3 areas:
(a) Impose fiscal restraints on the Federal Government.
(b) Limit the power and jurisdiction of the Federal Government.
(c) Limit the terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress.
Please sign E-Petition. Takes less than 20 seconds.
