How do you convene a constitutional convention?
In a nascent democracy the first step is to create and establish a process whereby delegates to a constitutional convention cam be selected. This can be a muddled affair. Who, for example, has the authority to convene such a convention? In a nation with an established constitution, that constitution should include the procedure for amending the existing constitution.

It takes 2/3 of both houses of congress to amend the constitution and it is a complex process laid out in the constitution. The founders didn't want Willy-nilly reasons to change the constitution.
