I think there are three basic positions that one could take on Article V:<\/p>\n
1. It should not be reformed because it has worked well enough.<\/p>\n
2. It should be reformed because it violates equality over the law<\/a> and\/or because it is too hard to amend the Constitution, but we should amend or repeal it according to the procedures of Article V.<\/p>\n 3. It should be reformed because it violates equality over the law, and we should amend it according to the principles of equality over the law.<\/p>\n Suppose that there is a national debate about the representational design of the Senate and Article V. The #2 people are not going to have any success because it does not make any logical sense to declare that Article V is so bad that it must be amended or repealed, while declaring that Article V is good enough to be used to amend Article V. Plus, the numbers just don’t work out<\/a> for #2.<\/p>\n Soon after debate starts, #1 v. #3 will be the only game in town.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I think there are three basic positions that one could take on Article V: 1.
