This fact sheet describes a research collection of 1,655 records of the people, organizations, official bodies, events and lawsuits involved in campaigns for and against a convention to propose constitutional amendments under Article V. Each finding is a count from the collection, followed by the chart that shows it.

RecordOne entry in the collection: a person, organization, official body, event, publication or lawsuit. A count of records is not a count of people or supporters.
Supports a conventionThe record's own statements, votes, sponsorship or testimony favor a convention, either limited to particular subjects or with no limit stated.
Opposes a conventionThe record's own statements, votes, sponsorship or testimony oppose calling a convention.
Other or not shownNeutral or research roles, mixed or unknown positions, a preference for amendments proposed by Congress, unverified positions, and private individuals whose positions are not shown.
ActiveA source shows Article V activity in 2024 or later.
Open conventionA convention with no limit on the amendments it may propose, sometimes called a plenary convention.
What these counts cannot tell you. They count entries in one research collection, not members of a movement, and they do not measure public support or either side's strength. Coverage varies with where research reached and what each state puts online. Positions are assigned by the researchers from each record's own statements, votes, sponsorship or testimony; they are not self-descriptions, and some describe statements made years ago. Some records lack dates, positions or other details.

Overview

The collection lists 1,655 people, organizations, official bodies, events and lawsuits connected to campaigns for and against an Article V convention, from 1788 to 2026. Records of people mostly support a convention (591 of 1,003); records of organizations mostly oppose one (170 of 259). Supporters cluster around specific amendments, chiefly a balanced budget and congressional term limits, organized by campaigns such as Convention of States and U.S. Term Limits. Opponents, led in the record by Common Cause, mostly object to calling any convention. Most recorded activity began after 2010, and 14 states have enacted laws on how their convention delegates would be chosen and instructed. These are counts of records in one research collection: they show who appears and how often, not how large either side is.

Who is in the collection

1

Of the 1,655 records, 754 are of people or groups that support a convention and 409 of ones that oppose it.

A record is one entry in the collection: a legislator, an advocacy group, a state legislature, a hearing, a lawsuit. These are counts of records, not of supporters, and they do not measure the size or strength of either side. Supporters split into 529 records for a convention limited to particular subjects and 225 where no limit is stated. Another 166 records are private individuals, such as volunteers, witnesses and registered lobbyists, whose positions are not shown.

Most people in the collection support a convention (591 of 1,003); most organizations oppose one (170 of 259).

The two sides show up differently in the record. 78% of supporting records are people, mostly legislators and campaign staff. Opposing records are more evenly split: 46% are people, and most of the rest are organizations such as advocacy groups, unions and civil-liberties groups.

Convention of States is linked to the most records on the supporting side; Common Cause to the most on the opposing side.

Records naming each organization, counting the organization itself, its chapters, and people whose stated affiliation is that organization. Each bar shows the positions of those linked records. Many records linked to U.S. Term Limits and Convention of States are registered lobbyists, whose positions are not shown, so their bars are partly gray.

State legislators are the largest group of people: 546 records, 409 of them supporting a convention and 104 opposing.

Legislators enter the collection through bills: 265 people's recorded titles include the word “sponsor”, mostly of convention applications or rescissions. Private individuals such as registered lobbyists are counted, but their positions are not shown.

A handful of campaigners appear across many states. Mark Meckler appears in records from 11 states; 19 people appear in 3 or more.

States are counted from each person's home state and the state legislatures, lobbyist registries and other state-government sites their record cites. A record cites only part of someone's activity, so these are minimum counts. Only public figures are named.

Balanced-budget amendments are the most common subject (569 records), followed by term limits (475).

A record can concern several subjects, so the bars add up to more than the number of records. “Open convention” marks records about a convention with no limit on its subject (sometimes called plenary). “Any convention” marks records that address every possible convention, usually opponents objecting to the idea itself.

Records about balanced-budget, term-limits and federal-power amendments mostly support a convention; records about a convention on any subject mostly oppose one.

Term limits: 385 records support a convention and 46 oppose. Balanced budget: 392 and 102. All 196 records addressing any convention oppose one, as do 137 of 191 records about an open convention. Supporters tend to campaign for a particular amendment; opponents tend to object to calling a convention at all.

Supporting records are most numerous in MS (48), MN (32), TX (26); opposing records in HI (22), MA (20), RI (20).

Each map counts records with that position in each state. Darker states have more records. These are counts of records, so states with more research coverage show more of both.

14 states have enacted a law or resolution setting rules for their convention delegates, beginning with Indiana in 2013.

These laws say how a state's delegates to a convention would be chosen and instructed, and some penalize delegates who exceed their instructions. They do not apply for a convention. Bills that passed only one chamber are not counted.

In 39 of the 50 states (counting DC) with at least 10 records, supporting records outnumber opposing ones; in 6 (RI, CA, MA, HI, NV, MD) the reverse is true.

Every state with at least 10 records, in order of record count. Coverage varies by state with how much research reached it and how much its legislature puts online.

When

11

84% of dated records begin in 2010 or later.

Much of the recorded activity is recent: the Convention of States, term-limits and balanced-budget campaigns of the 2010s and 2020s, and the rescission campaigns against them. The concentration also reflects the research: recent legislatures publish far more online. 212 records with no start year are not shown.

Since 2010, supporting records outnumber opposing ones: 317 to 194 in the 2010s and 321 to 146 in the 2020s.

Earlier decades have few records, so their shares rest on small numbers. The number at right of each bar is the count of records.

Balanced-budget records began mostly in the 2010s (286, against 194 in the 2020s); term-limits records more often in the 2020s (263, against 156).

Each cell counts records about a subject whose documented activity began in that decade. Darker cells hold more records.

Of the 498 records with documented activity since 2024, 246 support a convention and 126 oppose one.

A record counts as active only if a source shows Article V activity in 2024 or later. “Unknown” means no source shows current activity, not that the person or group has stopped.

Lobbying and money

122 registered lobbyists are recorded; 51 represent U.S. Term Limits and 39 represent Convention of States Action.

From state lobbyist registries. About 20 states' registries were not searched, and some sit behind CAPTCHAs, so these are minimum counts. Lobbyists are private individuals: the directory shows their names, clients and sources only.

Of 14 funders recorded, 3 are tied to the supporting side and 1 to the opposing side; the rest have no stated position.

Funders are recorded only where a tax filing or report shows a grant to an Article V group. Grants for general operations are not counted as support for a convention. Most opposition work is paid for from organizations' general budgets, which filings do not break out.

Method

How the collection was built. AI research agents gathered records in topic batches (national campaigns, opposition, every state's legislature, official bodies, scholarship, historical campaigns, money and lobbying, and the printed program of the October 2026 Harvard Law School conference “V the People”), merged duplicates, and logged every change against a quoted source.

How it was checked. A sourcing pass checked 17,809 specific claims (names, roles, dates, numbers, bills, votes and quotes) against their cited pages: 94% are supported by a page that was loaded, up from about 83%. Unsupported details were sourced or removed. Two earlier audits, one by an outside AI, checked random samples and their findings were corrected; neither gives an error rate for the whole collection.

Privacy. Private individuals, such as volunteers, witnesses and registered lobbyists, are listed by name, role and source only. Their positions are not shown on this page or counted in it. 4 records are withheld.

Every number here can be reproduced from the public table. Browse the directory; get the data, data dictionary and full method; send corrections or removal requests through the corrections form.
