an amendment to dissolve the Fed Govt and replace it with a king would be legal under the Constitution

It seems to me that the basic constituted frame of government must be beyond the scope of an amendment power ... if a new frame of government is desired, then a convention and new constitution are necessary ... I believe that what Virginia consented to was an amendment power whereby 3/4 of the States can make amendments to the federal compact, not an amendment power where 3/4 of the States can replace the federal compact with anything they fancy and bind Virginia.
