Back in 1787, the US Constitution was ratified by votes from the people at large, and there were probably a lot of uninformed yes votes at that time too.
I suppose a new constitution or amendment has to be "ratified" by people who didn't write it.  You could either have a vote by the people at large like Florida does or you could have people from the next level of government down vote on it as the US Constitution does. Both have drawbacks.  The people have a "yes" bias and the next lower level of government may have a "keep power to ourselves" bias.

The US Constitution was not "ratified by votes from the people at large."


It varied state to state.
A few of the states did a statewide vote, yes or no. Now in those states only white males with property could vote.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
