Show EASIER METHOD OF AMENDMENT SOUGHT WASHINGTON, Dec. fl. A joint resolution reso-lution proposing a constitutional amendment amend-ment for an easier method of amending the constitution was introduced by iRep-resenlaiive iRep-resenlaiive Chandler of New York. j It provides submission of any proposed i amendment by a majority of both houses ! of congress and ratification by a ma- 1 jority of the voters in a majority of the states. i For ratification, it would be necessary 1 also to receive an agrecate majority of all votes cast in the United States. Con- ventions would be held every thirty years to consider proposed amendments. Mr. Chandler said the present method of amending the constitution is archaic, cumbersome and undemocratic. |
