Freedom's Destruction By Constitutional De-Construction

Freedom's Destruction By Constitutional De-Construction: "During the Constitutional Convention, from May to September 1787, delegates from the colonies were to gather together for the express purpose of amending the Articles of Confederation to form a 'more perfect union' (NOT a completely different union!). The men that met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were under direct and limited orders from their states to attend the Federal Convention explicitly to preserve the federation and State rights and to correct the errors of the existing federal government for the limited purposes of handling foreign affairs, commerce among the states and common defense."

This is a myth that the 1787 convention was a "runaway" convention. See http://www.nolanchart.com/article6449.html

The reason for the myth is for people to justify their constitutional hypocrisy regarding an Article V Convention call. The Constitution demands a convention call if 34 states apply for a convention call. The public record shows all 50 states have submitted 750 applications for an Article V Convention, well in excess of the 34 required. The texts of the applications can be read at www.foavc.org.
