The first CC occurred during the late 1780s and its when state legislatures sent delegates to Philly to establish the layout of the US government while working on the Constitution.
I dont believe a federal-level CC has ever convened (state-level CCs happen occasionally) except for the one time in the 1780s however in the midst of a real Constitutional crisis then a CC might happen (guessing unless someone else knows).
Let's do it! Caucus all 50 states!
Is that tantamount to calling a Constitutional Convention?
Whatever happened to that? Was one formed? I’d Google it but I don’t trust search results that are manipulated.
What happened. I thought they were getting close to the required number of states?
How I would love that!
