An Article V convention of states is solely for the purpose of PROPOSING amendments to the constitution, it IS NOT a constitutional convention, it cannot alter, rewrite or change in anyway the content of the Articles in the constitution.

James Madison included the Article V amendment processes to benefit We, the People, not elected members of any political party.

It would be greatly beneficial if everyone who wants to put their 2 cents in on the Article V convention of states first read Mark Levin's very informative and educational book on this very subject.

The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic. Read this and you will be more knowledgeable about the constitution and the amendment processes than probably 90% of the members of congress. (Mark Levin was AG Ed Meese's Chief of Staff during the Reagan admin.)

BR, as screwed up as things and people are now I'd be concerned. In my opinion let what is going down now continue for a while and depending what happens drop the hammer. Any move done wrong or at the wrong time could spell disaster. Mike

1) 5 out of 5 stars. Amending the Constitution?
August 13, 2013
Format: Hardcover|Verified Purchase
Mark Levin is a radio host and a Constitutional scholar. Invoking Article V of the Constitution, which sets out methods for amendments, Levin has proposed a number of changes to term limits, taxation, restoring states' power and more.

Currrently, states' powers have been almost completely overruled by Federal laws and mandates, debt is out of control, stretching past two generations of American's ability to pay it off. Government spending is a significant proportion of GDP and the GDP itself is stagnating; is this caused by the heavy burden of non-productive government spending? Government regulation has even gone so far as to dictate what kind of light bulb can be manufactured and sold and choices in healthcare may soon be dictated by unelected bureaucrats. For those who think that this kind of centralized power is dangerous and even tyrannical, Levin's amendments seek to address the power that the Federal government has arrogated unto itself, a power that never was the original intent of the Founding Fathers and which reduces individual liberty significantly.

Levin's amendments include:

1. Term limits, including for justices.
2. Repealing Amendment 17 and returning the e******n of senators to state legislatures
3. A congressional supermajority to override Supreme Court decisions (overruling what could be a stacked court)
4. Spending limit based on GDP
5. Taxation capped at 15%
6. Limiting the commerce clause, and strengthening private property rights
7. Power of states to override a federal statute by a three-fifths v**e.

These ideas will be opposed by those who favor central planning and a very powerful federal government, who believe that a few should decide the fate of many, who like the current system and the way it's headed. It will also be ignored by those who think that there is too much inertia to oppose the direction we're headed. It's true there are powerful forces at work fundamentally t***sforming the nation, but it's also true that there is a plurality of opinion throughout the US. For those who wonder how we've gotten to where we are presently, and how we might restore personal liberty and more localized government, where we have MORE of a say, not less, this is a very important book and worth reading and discussing.

In The Liberty Amendments, Mark Levin develops (if not introduces) the concept of using the Article V provision of the United States Constitution to introduce amendments. The process is not unfamiliar (and has been championed in the past by men like Eisenhower and Reagan), but Levin introduces it to a modern audience. The book specifically focuses on the still-unused technique of introducing constitutional amendments through the ability of two thirds of the states to call a convention for amendments (sometimes referred to as a "constitutional convention", though this carries the incorrect connotation of then being able to re-write the constitution).

Moving past the mechanics, Mark Levin spends the majority of the book beyond the introduction proposing a series of amendments which he believes would reaffirm fading constitutional liberty. The points are well developed and it is clear that significant thought has gone into them. He continues with his unique writing style; crisp and authoritative, and always developing a narrative as if he's prosecuting a case.

While this is a powerful and important book, I reduced my rating to "four stars" because of my one criticism; that the author relied a little to heavily on past successes. Levin chose to quote HIMSELF from all three of his previous political works (Men in Black, Liberty & Tyranny, and Ameritopia) instead of re-developing the concepts.

That was the only thing which I found to be a little jarring in the writing. Otherwise, the book is highly recommended both for its writing style and its content.
