Professor Heard, I had actually put the question in a general sense to all the witnesses, but I'm glad you answered it, because I wanted to ask you the following question.
I wasn't sure if you were suggesting that the creation of a convention or a law that will likely have the effect of creating a convention is a basis on which one would judge the constitutionality or unconstitutionality of the law. That is, if it aims to create a convention or has the practical effect of creating a convention, this in and of itself would be a basis for saying it is unconstitutional—where the law might otherwise not be unconstitutional.
