State legislatures can call for Constituional Convention with 2/3 vote. Alternative mechanism in place to bypass the Congress in the case of corruption, uses state-led Constitutional Convention. Amending the Constitution is very difficult. Bill of Rights, first 10 amendments, ratified in 1791. Progressive era early 1900s, many amendments.
