easier to put on the ballot than the amendments; that's certainly true in
Would you agree that for political reasons it is sometimes easier to get a
ballot initiative (even a constitutional one) passed than to get legislation
with the same provisions passed? I think it is likely that the relative ease
of passing legislation vs. passing a ballot measure will differ
