Natelson is the foremost expert in the state convention process, as outlined in Article V of the U.S. Constitution. In his new book, The Liberty Amendments, Levin proposes that three-fifths of the state legislatures petition Congress under Article V to convene a state convention, for the purpose of considering new constitutional amendments with the goal of reigning in an all-powerful central government and federal judiciary, thereby restoring the proper constitutional balance between the people, states and the federal government. Levin and Natelson discussed the Article V state convention process on a recent broadcast.
