Some people claim that a Convention of States is the only way to reign in an out-of-control government in Washington, D.C. Others warn that such a convention could overturn the Constitution. Which of them is right?

The Constitution provides two methods for proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States: One is by Congress and one is by the States.

Congress can propose amendments by passing a resolution with a two-thirds majority in each house. To date, no amendment to the Constitution has been proposed by the states. However, there are those who wish to change that.
