S 1165: Compact for a Safe and Equal Convention for Proposing Constitutional Amendments

This bill from South Carolina creates a legal agreement called the Compact for a Safe and Equal Convention for Proposing Constitutional Amendments. It is designed for states that want to participate in a national convention called to propose changes to the U.S. Constitution. The compact requires that any such convention follow two main rules: every state gets one vote regardless of population, and the convention can only discuss the specific topics that the states originally agreed to address. States that join this agreement promise to instruct their delegates to enforce these rules and prevent Congress or the convention itself from changing the scope or voting method.
