- ‘proposed constitutional amendment’ was in fact a new constitution, and therefore not entitled to be placed on the ballot
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
DENECKE, J.,
specially concurring.
I concur in the majority opinion except for that part of the opinion which suggests that the petition submitted to the Secretary of 'State contains a “new constitution” and only can be proposed by a constitutional convention.
