Question 4 NECO • 2024 • CIVIC_EDUCATION • objective

To amend the constitution, a proposal must first be passed by at least two‑thirds of the members of the National Assembly, which has 360 members, and then be approved in a national referendum. The referendum requires at least 60\% of the votes cast to be in favour, and the number of favourable votes must also be at least 40\% of the total registered voters (30 million). A proposal receives 210 votes in the Assembly, and in the referendum 12 million votes are cast, of which 7.5 million are in favour. Does the amendment succeed? Justify your answer.

Answer Options

A. Yes. The proposal received 210 Assembly votes, and the referendum's 7.5 million favourable votes constitute more than the required share of registered voters, therefore the amendment passes.
B. Yes. Although the Assembly vote fell short, the referendum achieved the required majority, and under the constitution the referendum result alone can approve an amendment.
Correct Answer C. No. The proposal obtained only 210 Assembly votes, fewer than the required 240 (two‑thirds). Hence the amendment fails.
D. Yes. The proposal obtained 210 votes in the Assembly, which meets the two‑thirds requirement of 240 votes, so the amendment succeeds.
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
No. The proposal obtained only 210 Assembly votes, fewer than the required 240 (two‑thirds). Hence the amendment fails.
