I would rather it be done by amendments, but there are a lot of things to be looked at and would make the process very interesting.
All of that being said, we still don't know that these things would change. The First Amendment freedoms, for example, are so entrenched in our society that I think even if we completely started over they would be included.
If Aeticle 5 does not apply then how do we decide if the new constitution is valid? Who gets to say what is in the new constitution?
