Title: What is the Role of the State?
Topic: Convention of States
Discussed by Professor Robert Natelson
with Professor Robert Natelson (www.ArticleVInfocenter.com)
Part 1 of 3
America is in trouble – perhaps the biggest peacetime trouble she has been in since our country was founded. The fundamental concept behind America is that all people are endowed by nature and by God with rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To secure those rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Adherence to that simple idea freed Americans to propel this country to a level never before seen.
As more states (including Texas) approve applications for an Article V Convention, opponents of Constitutional reform continue to object to any potential changes to the all-important document.
Constitutional Scholar Rob Natelson states: “James Madison and other Founders emphasized state officials’ obligation to interpose in a Constitutional manner when the people are threatened by federal overreaching.”
Over the next three segments, Professor Natelson will explain the purpose of Article V Constitutional Conventions and why every American citizen should be paying close attention to the situation.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
From the Founding Fathers until the present, have the citizens of the United States of America feared the Federal Government’s usurpation of power and authority?
How many states have petitioned for a Constitutional Convention for a balanced budget amendment? What happens if the proposal is approved?
