1. HOW AMENDMENTS MAY BE PROPOSED. Any amendment or
amendments to this Constitution may be proposed in either branch
of the legislature, and if the same shall be agreed to by

houses, voting separately, such proposed amendment or amendments
shall, with the yeas and nays thereon, be entered on their
journals, and it shall be the duty of the legislature to submit
such amendment or amendments to the electors of the state at the
next general election, and cause the same to be published without
delay for at least three (3) times in every newspaper qualified
to publish legal notices as provided by law. Said publication
shall provide the arguments proposing and opposing said amendment
or amendments as provided by law, and if a majority of the
electors shall ratify the same, such amendment or amendments
shall become a part of this Constitution.

(2/3) of the members elected to each branch of the legislature
shall deem it necessary to call a convention to revise or amend
this Constitution, they shall recommend to the electors to vote
at the next general election, for or against a convention, and if
a majority of all the electors voting at said election shall have
voted for a convention, the legislature shall at the next session
provide by law for calling the same; and such convention shall
consist of a number of members, not less than double the number
of the most numerous branch of the legislature.
