The only legislation posted here that has already been introduced in Congress is
commonly known as the "We the People Amendment" (which would make it clear that corporations are not people).
The rest of the examples of model legislation posted on this page are all drafts of proposed legislation.
In each case, the legislation is obviously subject to amendment as it works its way through the legislative process.
The drafts of proposed legislation are listed with federal legislation first, followed by legislation needed at the state level.
The legislation is also posted in order of importance, with the most important legislation listed first.

(Amending the 12th Amendment)
Note: This is a draft of a proposed amendment to Article V of the U. S. Constitution.

The details may be altered by the legislator who agrees to introduce this legislation.
(An amendment to the U. S. Constitution)
The Constitution provides for state legislatures to call for a convention to amend the Constitution, but provides no details regarding delegate selection or how the business of the convention is to be conducted. Applications for a convention that attempt to limit the nature of amendments that can be considered by delegates have been adopted by a number of states and transmitted to Congress.
If a few more states submit such applications it will trigger a constitutional crisis.
This proposed legislation would avert such a crisis.
