SEC. 4. The Legislature shall take measures for the protection,
improvement, or other disposition of such lands as have been, or may
hereafter be, reserved or granted by the United States, or any person
or persons to this State for the use of a University; and the funds
accruing from the rents or sale of such lands, or from any other
source, for the purpose aforesaid, shall be and remain a permanent
fund, the interest of which shall be applied to the support of said
university, with such branches as the public convenience may demand
for the promotion of literature, the arts and sciences, as may be
authorized by the terms of such grant. And it shall be the duty of the
Legislature, as soon as may be, to provide effectual means for the
improvement and permanent security of the funds of said University.
ARTICLE X.
MODE OF AMENDING AND REVISING THE CONSTITUTION.
SEC. 1. Any amendment or amendments to this Constitution may be
proposed in the Senate or Assembly; and if the same shall be agreed to
by a majority of the members elected to each of the two houses, such
proposed amendment or amendments shall be entered on their journals,
with the yeas and nays taken thereon, and referred to the Legislature
then next to be chosen, and shall be published for three months next
preceding the time of making such choice. And if, in the Legislature
next chosen, as aforesaid, such proposed amendment or amendments shall
be agreed to by a majority of all the members elected to each house,
then it shall be the duty of the Legislature to submit such proposed
amendment or amendments to the people, in such manner, and at such
time, as the Legislature shall prescribe; and if the people shall
approve and ratify such amendment or amendments, by a majority of the
electors qualified to vote for members of the Legislature voting
thereon, such amendment or amendments shall become part of the
Constitution.
SEC. 2. And if, at any time, two-thirds of the Senate and Assembly
shall think it necessary to revise and change this entire
Constitution, they shall recommend to the electors, at the next
election for members of the Legislature, to vote for or against the
convention; and if it shall appear that a majority of the electors
voting at such election have voted in favor of calling a convention,
the Legislature shall, at its next session, provide by law for calling
a convention, to be holden within six months after the passage of
such law; and such convention shall consist of a number of members not
less than that of both branches of the Legislature.
ARTICLE XI.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
SEC. 1. The first session of the Legislature shall be held at the
Pueblo de San Jose, which place shall be the permanent seat of
government, until removed by law; provided, however, that two-thirds
of all the members elected to each house of the Legislature shall
concur in the passage of such law.
