provide by law for taking, at the general election to be held
in the year eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, and every
twenty years thereafter, the sense of the people in regard to
calling a convention for altering this Constitution; and if a
majority of voters at such election or elections shall vote for
a convention, the General Assembly, at its next session, shall

jority of the voters voting thereon.
