The constitutional convention, as outlined in Article V of the U.S. Constitution, has never been used primarily due to concerns over a lack of control and the potential for radical changes. There is apprehension that once convened, delegates could propose amendments that extend beyond the original intent, leading to unintended consequences. Additionally, the political climate often lacks the consensus necessary to convene such a significant gathering, making it easier for amendments to be proposed and ratified through the established congressional process. Thus, the tradition of amending the Constitution through Congress remains the preferred method.
