This book provides a brief intellectual and constitutional history of the Article V amending process from the Imperial Crisis until the present and shows Article V to be a vital part of the Constitutional architecture. Furthermore, it defends Article V from critics who claim it is too difficult, undemocratic, and too formal; and it makes the case for Article V as the sole legitimate form of Constitutional amendment.
