I would amend Article V to allow states to propose a Constitutional Amendment via ballot initiative.

1) All 50 states have to provide the means to hold a ballot initiative to call for a Constitutional Amendment if enough signatures are gathered.

2) Once 3/4ths of the states have passed ballot initiatives, the states will send delegates to meet to write up the Constitutional Amendment

3) Once the Amendment is written...it will then be sent to the state legislatures who can choose to ratify it or not

4) Once 38 states have ratified the amendment within the mandatory 5 year time limit then it becomes part of the Constitution
