In this video, Robert Brown explains what authority delegates had at the 1787 Convention. He discusses the difference between a convention and a legislature, and explains that a convention has sovereign power to alter, abolish, or establish governments. He also explains how the United States applied this sovereign power, and highlights quotes explaining this principle from delegates to various conventions. Brown notes that delegates to a modern-day Article V constitutional convention could potentially create an entirely new government.
