At present, almost all States provide for the ratification of constitutional amendments. In Delaware, a proposed constitutional amendment must be approved by two General Assemblies. It is the purpose of this Act to provide that, after a constitutional amendment is passed by the General Assembly, it shall be submitted to the voters at the next following general election for ratification. If the proposed amendment is approved; it becomes a part of the Constitution. If the voters reject the proposed amendment, it cannot be re-submitted for a period of three years.
