COS Ohio
Season 1
Can We Trust the Constitution?: Answering the Runaway Convention Myth
America's Soul Sickness
by Roger Gibb
Convention of States co-founder and Senior Advisor Michael Farris debunks the widespread belief that the 1787 convention went beyond the scope of its original call. He proves that the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention acted lawfully to render the government adequate to the exigencies of the union. There is no precedent for an unlawfully conducted interstate convention.
Written by Rita Peters, Convention of States Vice President for Legislative Affairs, author, talk show host, and a licensed constitutional attorney who has submitted amicus briefs to the Supreme Court of the United States.
The Executive Summary is often distributed to legislators, donors, and grassroots activists. In a condensed format, this document outlines the process for Article V, the Convention of States Action resolution, types of amendments that could be proposed under that resolution, endorsers of COS, and more.
