The previous attempt to ratify an article I has failed, see this poll. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72321)

Here is a reworded and clarified Article I. This poll will remain open for 48 hours unless it is deemed to not be enough time, in which case we can have a mod extend it.


I. Census, and Amending the Constitution
1. The census shall be defined as the average number of votes cast,
dropping fractions, in each of the contested elections in the most recent
general election.

2. Ratification of Amendments to the Constitution shall require each of the following
a. A poll which is open for at least 48 hours, which states the text of the
proposed new section(s), the text of the section(s) being replaced, and posing
the question in the form of yes / no / abstain
b. A majority of yes votes
c. A number of yes votes greater than or equal to 2/3 the census current at the
start of voting on the amendment, dropping any fraction therein

I voted yes. It says the same thing. Let's get this passed.

Agreed, Cyc. Just hoping this one passes ...

I think we will have actually passed nearly all of the Con. with this one!
