4. Once the Constitution has been amended
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 08:17 PM by SoCalNative
in CA, as it has with Prop 8, you must revise the Constitution in order to change changes made by an amendment.

A revision requires a Constitutional convention and 2/3 vote of the State legislature in order to be put to a vote by the electorate.

But first the electorate has to vote on a ballot initiative as to whether or not to call a Constutional convention.
