Drawing on essential historical records--many newly discovered or
published--and citing relevant judicial precedents, this book is
the first systematic exposition of the legal problems relating to
the convention clause. Constitutional historian Russell Caplan
examines the constitutional crises that have let to convention
drives--from the antifederalist movement of the 1780s to the recent
campaigns to abolish the one-person, one-vote rule and prohibit
abortion, showing how state drives for a constitutional convention,
which occur on a regular basis, have been crucially affected by
advocacy from partisans and opponents alike that obscures the true
legal issues and dictates the course of these (so far) unsuccessful
campaigns.
