Why do some people prefer ratifying conventions, rather than state legislatures, for the ratification of amendments?

State legislatures take too long to make decisions.


State legislatures have no power to shape laws.


Convention delegates better represent the people’s will.


Convention delegates are more educated.

The correct answer is the following: option C. Some people prefer ratifying conventions, rather than state legislatures, for the ratification of amendments because Convention delegates better represent the people's will. A delegate is a person designated to act for or represent another or others. In a convention, the delegates acts as representantives of different secotrs or groups of people. This is why people prefer to ratify conventions rather than state legislatures, because in Conventions delegates are participating members.
