This. This is something that more Americans should be aware of. State legislatures are generally less corrupt than federal, and more responsive to voters. The framers put a way to make amendments that completely bypasses the federal government for a reason. It’s never happened because every time a convention is close to being called, the federal government passes that amendment, seeing the writing in the wall.
