States in Convention - Serious and Orderly - No 'Runaway' (5 minute video)
States in Convention 6.2 - Through short video vignettes, here's an example of states meeting in serious, orderly deliberation -- no "runaway".
This is just one of many state gatherings in US history. Not one ever "ran away". One such good-faith gathering in 1861 nearly averted the Civil War.
Sadly, the paralyzing fear of a 'runaway' has been blocking Americans' use of the Constitution's own Article V Clause 2, which grants our state legislatures the power to amend our Constitution without the permission or approval of Congress, POTUS, or SCOTUS.
The Framers, especially James Madison and George Mason, intended Article V to be used in case our federal government itself ever "ran away" with its powers. For example, does $34 Trillion in operating-budget debt qualify as "runaway" borrowing?
Put "Convention of States" in your favorite search engine to read more about the pros and cons of state conventions to solve problems *without* federal intervention or control. And check out the book "Liberty Amendments" by Mark Levin for a full discussion of Article V.
For more examples of state conventions, see also the book "Conventions That Made America: A Brief History Of Consensus Building" by Mike Kapic.
