How will the delegates to the convention be selected if it happens?
Congress would have to adopt rules for delegate selection, as we did in 2015. Back then there was a mix of regional, party, and congressional (senatorial) delegates.

How would the composition of delegates be determined in a majority Labor congress?
I will be the sole appointed delegate and revise the constitution from my dungeon lair.

1st to 2nd: The 1st constitution was a mess so awful that it lasted for less than 1 year. It was so bad that it has its own wiki page detailing why it was so bad

This is a goldmine.

''On its face, Article I, Section 3 makes little to no sense; It begins in Clause 1: "Upon impeachment, the Chief Justice of the Atlas Forum shall administer a poll to the public to impeach the person whom charges have been filed against..."

This is actually a brilliant line of cyclical argument: To paraphrase: In order to impeach an officer he must first be impeached. It could actually nullify the process of impeachment on the grounds of not making sense.
''

'the next point of oversight in the First Constitution is contained in Article I, Section 5, Clause 4:

"The power to declare war lies with Senate. The Senate must vote a majority on any war resolution."

Is this to say that if a Resolution asking for a declaration of War is presented to the Senate, then the Senate must vote for it?
'
Even Frémont's first constitution was better than this!
