No, you do not understand. Per Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Five_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Procedures_for_amending_the_Constitution
The only mechanism the states have for directly proposing a constitutional amendment IS a constitutional convention. States can call for a convention for a single amendment. Now, it is scary in that there would be precedent, per the Articles of Confederation, for a convention to just propose anything. The original Constitutional Convention went well beyond its original purview.
Again, there is one and only one mechanism states have for amending the constitution in any form. That is a constitutional convention. Otherwise amendments must be passed by 2/3rds vote through both houses of Congress.
Article V was a product of the constitutional convention. The constitutional convention was not product of Article V.
You should try reading the shit you post.
