Compact for America

Compact for America is a movement that advocates for a streamlined, state-led process to amend the U.S. Constitution through a "compact" among states, rather than through the traditional federal amendment method. It aims to establish a more direct role for states in addressing national issues by encouraging states to collectively adopt proposed amendments, such as a balanced budget requirement or other reforms. The approach seeks to make constitutional amendments more efficient while respecting state sovereignty, potentially avoiding some political gridlock associated with the federal amendment process.
