South Carolina S1165 establishes a compact for a safe and equal convention for proposing constitutional amendments.
South Carolina S1165, the "Compact for a Safe and Equal Convention for Proposing Amendments," aims to ensure that any convention for proposing amendments adheres to two key principles: one-state, one-vote, and adherence to the topics specified by the states calling for the convention. The compact mandates that delegates vote according to their state's instructions and face removal if they do not comply. It also requires states to waive sovereign immunity for enforcement actions by other member states.
