The United States may have come the closest to an Article V Constitutional Convention in 1969 over the issue of reapportionment. Only one more state needed to call for a Convention in order for it to be ratified.

It’s not necessarily hard to imagine one more state pushing for a convention. Perhaps Everett Dirksen lives and continues to campaign for his cause. However, the United States had been through a lot, reapportionment had somewhat faded away, and some scholars debate exactly how far an Article V Convention can go. Therefore, what amendments might be brought up during the convention and which ones might eventually be approved by the states. Additionally, how would such a convention be set up in the first place?
