Senate Resolution Calling for a Constitutional Convention.

[Peter]

I'm afraid that the constitutional convention will erode our liberties away,a s granted in the Civil Liberties Ammendment.

I would doubt highly that that is likely to happen. This is really just an exercise to put the present constitution into a sane framework with structural changes that people want, I don't think there'll be any assault on civil liberties.

[Peter]

What system will be used to ratify a new constitution?

The Convention will doubtless decide that by putting an appropriate clause/section into the Constitution itself. To date I've left that issue undecided in my draft because I think there are several ways for it to be done.
