Scholar: Slander against the Framers to say Constitution was illegally adopted Published in Blog on April 12, 2021 by Convention Of States One common argument against calling a Convention of States is that the constitutional convention in 1787 ran away. George Washington and James Madison were only allowed to amend the Articles of Confederation, this theory goes, and delegates to an Article V amendments convention will similarly write an entirely new document.  A Convention of States is not a constitutional convention, of course, because it operates under Article V and not under the residual sovereignty of the states. But even if we disregard this, the historical record totally exonerates our Founding Fathers.
