Our nation is divided largely because of the actions of the federal government and the subsequent ruling of the supreme court. A Convention of States through Article V, gives the power to the states to rein in the federal government and restore sovereignty to the states.
1. Limit to power and jurisdiction of the federal government
2. Implement Fiscal responsibility 3. Term Limits for all federal officials elected and appointed.
“Over the last fifty years, state lawmakers have largely overlooked their amendment power because of widespread misunderstanding about this convention for proposing amendments. It is commonly and inaccurately labeled a “constitutional convention” and is assumed to be inherently uncontrollable.13 Many seem to think it is independent of the state governments; that, for example, Congress can designate how delegates are chosen or how they are allotted.14 Such misconceptions are the product of ignorance of the relevant history and law. In fact, the convention for proposing amendments is nothing but a diplomatic gathering of the States to which each state sends a delegation, called a committee, and in which each state stands in a position of sovereign equality.``
