That never happened last time, and there's a tiny window where it may this time. The only real limitation: the US Constitution. It's nearly impossible to amend and many of the problems we have a nation are due directly to the imbalance in power between urban and rural. We won't have the option of secession amendments this time.
I have long thought we need another constitutional convention. For as long I have thought that it wasn’t time yet. It would have to wait until just after the crisis ends, when the problems are fresh in everyone’s minds, and everyone is chanting ‘never again.’
Still not time yet. Not sure that even after this particular crisis it will be the time.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
