The -purpose- of a Constitution is to define the powers/limits of a Government and provide protections for the rights of the people that live under it.
The method(s) specified to change the terms of a Constution do not defeat that purpose.
There is no protection for the rights of the people that live under it, if those rights are subject to a simple majority vote.
Seriously...not that they would pass, but whats to stop measures being placed on a ballot subject only to a majority vote to do things like
- define marriage as only between whites
- take away the right of minorities to vote
- take away the right of women to vote
etc.
