Question: Is there any organization that targets the American left with basic explainers/education about the U.S. Constitution?
Or any theories on why the left is so Constitutionally illiterate? It's worse than I thought, and I already thought it was pretty bad.

- campaign finance reform (requires a Constitutional amendment)
- eliminate electoral college (requires a Constitutional amendment)
- make Senate progressive (requires a Constitutional amendment)
etc.
Where are the active campaigns for a Constitutional Convention on the left?

Senate reform is disallowed by Article V.
I don't think a convention under the existing framework makes sense. It requires a convention, separated from the framework for amending the current constitution, after a major constitutional crisis.

Article V forbids making the Senate proportional, but does not forbid making it irrelevant like the UK House of Lords.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_… has a bunch of history. (Having the monarch (threaten/offer) to help out in 1910-1911 seems to have been important, and something that won't work here.)
