Constitution of the United StatesArticle VThe Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate. Our MissionArticle V of the Constitution places the power to amend the Constitution in the hands of the State Legislatures and the Congress. In a broader sense, Article V provides the power to fundamentally change the course and conduct of the United States government. Change, through Article V, can occur by reinstating the balance of power between the States and Congress, separating executive powers as necessary, over-ruling United States Supreme Court decisions, over-ruling Presidential orders, and even removing appointed or elected officers of the United States government from office. Our mission is to present proposed constitutional amendments to the public at large, the States, and the Congress to achieve these changes.
