The Harsh Reality of a “Convention of States”

Constitutional scholar Robert Brown addresses the harsh realities about a so-called “Convention of States,” debunking the various false and deceptive claims made by the organization Convention of States (COS) and its co-founder Mark Meckler. Brown examines what really happened at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, the 12 state commissions, what the delegates actually said, and its bearing on a modern constitutional convention under Article V. Brown also discusses the origins of the term “convention of the states” and the definition of a constitutional convention.

Robert Brown has traveled the country teaching citizen groups about the Constitution. He is most known for the six-part lecture series The Constitution is the Solution, which one can watch for free on JBS.org or purchase as a DVD set on ShopJBS.org.
