Representative Dustin Burrows Explains Constitutional Amendment Propositions

Published | Video Starts at 01:03

Let me kind of give you some history real quick just because I think it's interesting. Our constitution was adopted in 1876. Since that period of time, we have proposed 666 different amendments there too. 663 of those [amendments] have actually ended up on the ballot. I cannot find what happened to the three that did not make it on, but we're looking into it. It's quite interesting. Of those, 484 were approved, 179 were defeated. (01:03–01:07)
