National Constitutional Liberty League drives push for federal convention

Promoter Louis A. Cuvillier forms a Washington based group to seek a federal constitutional convention to repeal or modify the prohibition amendment. He gains support from notable figures including Dupont family members, a Guaranty Trust head, Admiral Fiske, Detroit auto magnate, Prudential and Victor executives, two authors, and other prominent Americans.

Four States Needed for Constitutional Convention Plan

Cuvillier claims four states including Maryland and Rhode Island can trigger a constitutional convention to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment. He cites 28 states already calling and argues once a resolution passes it stands for all time, while critics note legal uncertainty and warn of broader changes. The Union League of New York opposes, fearing radical changes and national instability.
