The resolution from the Kansas legislature asserts the state's authority to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution through a convention of states, as permitted by Article V. It emphasizes the role of state legislators as protectors of liberty against federal overreach, particularly in light of what it describes as excessive national debt and unfunded federal mandates that infringe on civil liberties. The resolution calls for amendments that would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and establish term limits for federal officials and members of Congress.

Furthermore, the resolution highlights that an amendment to the Kansas Constitution requires a two-thirds majority vote in both legislative houses for any application to Congress for a convention. It declares this application as ongoing until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications on the same topic. The resolution mandates that copies be sent to various federal and state officials to ensure proper communication of Kansas's position on this matter.
