Summary
This resolution places Delaware alongside several sister states--including Vermont, California, and Illinois--in calling for an Article V convention, following the United States Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010) and related cases and events. The purpose of said convention is to propose an amendment to the United States Constitution so as to reverse recent judicial decisions that have permitted money to play an unduly influential role in the context of political campaigns. The convention will enable an amendment to be crafted and discussed on the basis of data and experiences that have arisen in the wake of these decisions.
Title
