What It REALLY Means To Call For An Article V Convention. Prof. Larry Lessig

Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig gives a lesson on what it really means to call for an Article V Convention and why it’s the logical path to address money’s corrupting influence in politics. In this powerful presentation, he dissects the history and language surrounding Article V and the arguments often used against the convention strategy.
