JBS Constitutional Law Scholar Dr. Joe Wolverton, J.D. and The New American’s Christian Gomez debunk claims made by both Prof. Robert Natelson and the Convention of States organization that “previously undiscovered pre-1800 sources” prove that the phrase “convention of the states” is the correct name for an Article V convention for proposing amendments, rather than the term “constitutional convention.” The COS organization narrowly defines a “constitutional convention” to only mean a convention with the power to draft a new constitution. COS leaders and advocates, such as Mark Meckler, Michael Farris, Robert Natelson, Rita M. Peters, and neoconservative former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, claim that the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 was a constitutional convention and that a “convention of the states” is an Article V convention for proposing amendments. Dr. Wolverton and Christian Gomez set the record straight on yet another COS lie.
