HJR43 proposes a constitutional amendment to raise the threshold for approving future constitutional amendments from a simple majority to a supermajority on a ballot.
The Missouri State Senate passed HRJ43 on April 27, 2023 by a vote of 24 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the United States was designed to be a constitutional republic, with limited government and protection of individual rights from the “tyranny of the majority.” This resolution aims to restore a republican form of government in Missouri.
