What is the Constitutional Convention of 1787 called?
The Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called in order to consider amendments to the Articles of Confederation, not to write another Constitution entirely. During deliberations over amendments to the Articles, it was realized that the Articles could not be patched up to make them workable. The framers began to think in terms of a completely different approach to a national government and created the Constitution. One irony is that some of the states never would have sent delegations to the Convention if they knew the Framers were going to create a whole new system instead of fixing the old one.State house, Philadelphia, PA. There is a copy of it at Knox Berry Farm in LA.

What does article five mean in plain English?
The Constitution of the United States may be altered legally in two ways:First, by vote of two thirds of both houses of the Congress of the United States and then upon ratification (either by the state legislature or by a ratifying convention as required by state law) by three fourths of the state legislatures and/or ratifying conventions.Second, by a Constitutional Convention called by the legislatures of two thirds of the states. Scholars disagree on how such a convention would be structured and if what it considers can be limited or expanded upon. In theory a Constitutional Convention may be able to throw out the entire Constitution and replace it with something else, and if three fourths of the states could be enjoined to ratify that move, our whole form of government would change. After all, it was the Second Constitutional Convention in 1787 that threw out the Articles of Confederation, under which our government had been operating since winning the war over England, and replaced them with the Constitution that we now operate under.
