Since the state constitutions do not exhibit the same flexilibility and adaptability to change as does our federal constitution, many states find themsedves hopelessly boggpd down under the demands of the twentieth century. There are two methods by which state constitutions may be updated to better reflect current needs. It can be changed either by the amendment process, or by a constitutional convention. Constitutional amendments by their nature seldom follow an overall revision plan. In addition, more than half of the state constitutions (including Utah) restrict amendments to a single subject, which would require that substantial changes which are presently ' needed in Utah be presented as numerous ballot propositions, or they must be made over a period of years. Constitutional conventions are not always the answer, either. They are difficult to call, expensive to hold, and often unsuccessful in producing a product pleasing to the electorate. The question of a constitutional convention was proposed by the 1965 State legislature, but was convincingly defeated at the polls in 1696. The electorate seemed to be uncertain as to the safeguards in the convention approach to total revision. Faced with a need to revise the constitution, and with the rejection of the convention meth od, the legislature chose to propose the article method of constitutional revision. The 1969 legislature created a constitutional revision commission to recommend needed revisions, and at the same time proposed the amendment of Article XXIII. allowing the legislature to propose to the people amendments to as much as an entire article. This amendment has informally been called the "Gateway Amendment. The process of amending the contitution by the Gateway method has advantages over both the single subject procedure and the contitutional convention method. It allows changes to be submitted to public vote while avoiding the convention approach of either total acceptance or rejection of the entire new constitution. It does not disrupt the essential safeguards of the constitution. Rejection of a particular article amendment does not negate the entire revision effort. Article by to article amendments tend obload the ballot in order to tain the desired changes. Too many amendments at one time tend to stand or fall in their entirety, depending on the popularity of the most controversial issue at stake. It allows the voter to review all facets of the issues while remaining in the context of the same general subject. It would appear that amendment by article would allow the orderly planning of constitutional amendments in the context of a general plan, not by traditional piecemeal presentation.
