An amendment proposed by a citizen of The South which receives the signatures of one-fourth of the total number of registered voters in The South must be presented to the Legislature in a timely manner. Alternatively, should an amendment be approved unanimously by the Legislature, the Legislature can amend the constitution with the signature of the Governor.

3. Any Amendment proposed by the Southern Legislature shall only become effective upon an affirmative vote of a majority of those citizens of the Southern Region who vote for or against the proposed Amendment or by unanimous approval by the Legislature and Gubernatorial signature.

4. Whenever four-fifths of the legislature or one-fourth of the registered voters of the Southern Region considers it desirable to comprehensively improve this constitution, the governor shall call for a Constitutional Convention to propose revisions to this document, or replace it entirely. The Constitutional Convention shall consist of a minimum of three members chosen at the discretion of the governor. Alternatively, should it be the unanimous opinion of the Legislature with Gubernatorial approval, the Constitution can be replaced provided a Constitutional Convention be in place.
