So if you want to amend the US constitution you need 75% of the states to sign-off on it.
This makes it very difficult to change. And you have bad faith actors.
NZ has no formal constitution but it has constitutional law. However a simple majority in parliament xan theoretically rewrote any of them on 51% of the vote (proportional). Theoretically due to wasted votes and rounding it's 48% of the voters and in an ultra extreme example as low as 5% ( one party gets 5% the rest do not or win electorate seats.). NZ relies on good faith, no bad actors and cultural calues (she'll be right).
So what do you think is a good number required to rewrite a constitution? Popular vote vs states, simple majority or super majority (66%, 75%, or whatever?).
