The question is inaccurate in the first place. The Constitution only authorizes an Article V Convention, that is a "convention to propose amendments" to our present Constitution. A "constitutional convention" has the authority to propose a new constitution and is not authorized to do so under our present Constitution.
If 2/3rds of the State Legislatures request it, Congress must call for an Article V Convention. At that convention, any and all amendments may be considered and voted upon to be proposed for ratification. It requires a two-thirds vote of the convention to pass any proposed amendment followed by a three-fourths favorable vote by the states to ratify a proposed amendment.
According to the Congressional Record, all 50 states have submitted 750 applications for an Article V Convention. Texts of the applications can be read at www.foavc.org which has photographic copies of the congressional record pages showing the applications. Congress, therefore, is obligated to call a convention but thus far has refused to do so.
