The General Assembly may propose amendments to this constitution by
the votes of a majority of all the members elected to each house.
Such propositions for amendment shall be published in the newspapers
and printed copies of them shall be sent by the secretary of state,
with the names of all the members who shall have voted thereon, with
the yeas and nays, to all the town and city clerks in the state. The
said propositions shall be, by said clerks, inserted in the warrants
or notices by them issued, for warning the next annual town and ward
meetings in April; and the clerks shall read said propositions to the
electors when thus assembled, with the names of all the representatives
and senators who shall have voted thereon, with the yeas and nays,
before the election of senators and representatives shall be had. If
a majority of all the members elected to each house, at said annual
meeting, shall approve any proposition thus made, the same shall be
published and submitted to the electors in the mode provided in the
act of approval; and if then approved by three-fifths of the electors
of the state present, and voting thereon in town and ward meetings, it
shall become a part of the constitution of the state.
