We Already Protect the South Dakota Constitution

    We Already Protect the Constitution

    Supporters claim Amendment L protects the Constitution. But here's the truth:

    Most constitutional amendments already fail to pass.

    South Dakota voters carefully review proposed changes — and reject many.

    We already have safeguards:

    • ✔Signature requirements
    • ✔Public debate
    • ✔Statewide voting
    • ✔Majority approval

    We don't need new barriers.

    If Amendment L Passes

    It becomes harder for citizens to:

    • • Hold government accountable
    • • Protect property rights
    • • Pass ethics reforms
    • • Respond to future challenges

    This doesn't protect the Constitution — it locks in the status quo.
