I agree with your distrust, above all, in Republicans (not just the party) in the event a Constitutional Convention is called. The process is already underway for an Article V "Convention of States", theoretically to be focused on a Balanced Budget Amendment. If convened, what assurance would there be that this would be the only revision pursued? Not my preferred news source but all need to read this article: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mark-meckler-article-five-constitutional-convention_n_6086c380e4b09cce6c143b10
Also, for something even scarier (not linking it here), take a look at ConstitutionofStates dot com, collecting signatures supporting a Constitution of States.
Oh, no! I just checked and I gave the wrong URL! That's what happens when one doesn't verify and goes solely by memory! It's Conventionofstates dot com. Please, everyone who may have tried the wrong one, accept my apology.
My error reminds me of a lesson taught me in my earliest days working reference in a library. Always have the print source (this was the 60s) in front of you when you provide an answer to a question; don't rely on your memory alone.

When I tried to go to the constitution of states.com, weird message appeared about a security check and a change of default search engine. No go.
