Congress has disobeyed the Constitution and refused to call a convention. The over 700 applications from 49 states can be read at www.foavc.org. Once Congress realizes the American public know they have been violating the Constitution and begin asking why can they do this, public pressure will mount. Not so much because of a convention but because everyone will realize that if Congress can refuse to obey one part of the Constitution, they can disobey other parts. To prevent this means forcing them to call the convention even if nothing is done at the convention.
