A constitutional convention is a gathering of delegates to draft or revise a constitution. In the United States, Article V of the Constitution provides for the calling of a constitutional convention upon the request of two-thirds of state legislatures. This mechanism is significant for updating or reforming the foundational legal document of a government. However, concerns exist about the potential for radical changes, making the calling of such conventions a topic of debate. Constitutional conventions represent a critical process for ensuring that the governing framework evolves with societal changes.
