Kegler article edit

User:Jeffreykegler did a bunch of research about this some years back, and wrote it up here:

The IAS document mentioned there is the write-up by Oskar Morgenstern that is cited in the article, though according to Jeffrey Kegler's page, it turned up in 2006. 2601:648:8200:970:0:0:0:1A5F (talk) 08:49, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, I don't think that Kegler's GitHub page qualifies as a reliable source, but I'll take a look at it in case it leads me to something else that is. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:38, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Well, already I see, in the 4th paragraph, a factual error: the examination took place in Trenton, not in Princeton. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:39, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Entrenched Clauses edit

The loophole could relate to the fact that Article V appears to allow entrenched clauses, i.e. unamendable amendments. There is already an entrenched clause in that no amendment may deprive a state of equal representation in the Senate. The Crittenden Amendments and the Corwin Amendment, both proposed right before the Civil War, but never ratified, would have basically entrenched slavery forever.
