There in lays the problem.
The Article 5 is weak - requiring a minimum of 38 states to ratify.
Considering the federal governments hold on the purse strings.
There will need to be drastic change in the States addiction to federal funds before that's going to happen.
Mind you, state convention was the vehicle for the 21st amendment - abolishing prohibition.
But the federal governments stranglehold was a lot less back in 1933.
