Your idea of starting with an amendment to the Constitution that permits (or, better, requires?) Congress to set a limit to the agenda of a Constitutional Convention, whether it calls a Convention on its own initiative or in response to an application by the states, is creative, an approach I had not considered. I have always feared a Constitutional Convention for fear it would run amuck with our Constitution. Your idea would provide a control.

I’ll have to think a bit about possible unintended consequences of such an amendment.
