Answer 3

One of the most unique and seldom known parts of Article V is the option for a convention of state delegates to propose constitutional amendments just as Congress has done in the past. All the many facts about this unused option can be found at foavc.org. Most important is that the one and only requirement for such a convention has long been met but Congress has refused to obey the Constitution. So much for the rule of law!
