The resolution from the Kansas legislature asserts the state's responsibility to safeguard individual liberties against potential overreach by the federal government. It highlights concerns regarding the national debt, federal mandates that infringe on state authority and personal freedoms, and the need for states to take action to protect their citizens. The resolution invokes Article V of the U.S. Constitution, which allows state legislatures to call for a convention to propose amendments aimed at imposing fiscal restraints on the federal government, limiting its power and jurisdiction, and establishing term limits for federal officials.

Furthermore, the resolution specifies that the application for a convention is a continuing request until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications on the same topic. It mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to various federal and state officials to ensure proper communication of Kansas's position. The resolution was adopted by both the Senate and the House of Representatives in Kansas, reflecting a unified legislative effort to address these concerns through constitutional means.
