Constitutional Convention Campaign Finance

Rhode Island is considering calling a Constitutional convention, a procedure in the United States Constitution, but never exercised. Their concern is campaign finance.

There is a question of whether such a convention would only consider that issue or any or everything. The Rhode Island Resolution said they should only consider amendments referenced by forty percent of the states. Two thirds of the states are needed.
