S.J.Res.3

Urges Congress to call a convention of the states to propose amendments to the United States Constitution.

Urges Congress to call a convention of the states to propose amendments to the United States Constitution. These amendments would impose fiscal restraints on the Federal Government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the Federal Government, and limit the terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress. The resolution argues that the Federal Government has encroached upon the legitimate roles of the states and that the states should act to protect the liberty of the people.
