guage, once a week for at least three months preceding the
next ensuing general election, at which the proposed
amendment or amendments shall be submitted, in a form to
be prescribed by the General Assembly, to the qualified
voters of the State for adoption or rejection. The votes
cast for and against said proposed amendment or amend-
ments, severally, shall be returned to the Governor, in the
manner prescribed in other cases, and if it shall appear to
the Governor that a majority of the votes cast at said elec-
tion on said amendment or amendments, severally, were
cast in favor thereof, the Governor shall, by his proclama-
tion, declare the said amendment or amendments, having
received said majority of votes, to have been adopted by
the people of Maryland as part of the Constitution thereof,
and thenceforth said amendment or amendments shall be
part of the said Constitution. When two or more amend-

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

tion ; and if a majority of voters at such election or elec-
tions shall vote for a convention, the General Assembly at
its next session shall provide by Law for the assembling of
such convention, and for the election of Delegates thereto.
Each County and Legislative District of the City of Balti-
more shall have in such convention a number of Delegates
equal to its representation in both Houses at the time at
which the convention is called. But any Constitution, or
change, or amendment of the existing Constitution, which
may be adopted by such convention, shall be submitted to
the voters of this State, and shall have no effect unless the
same shall have been adopted by a majority of the voters
voting thereon.
