Affects multiple historical applications including House Bill No. 90 (1901), House Bill No. 207 (1903), Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 17 (1909 and 1911), and House Joint Memorial No. 1 (1963)

Applies to both limited conventions for specific subjects and general conventions for unlimited amendments, regardless of whether confirmed by state or Library of Congress records
