To amend the constitution, a proposal must be passed by a two‑thirds majority in both houses of the National Assembly and then approved by a national referendum. The referendum requires at least \(50\%\) voter turnout and a majority of votes cast in favour. In a recent referendum, \(48\%\) of registered voters turned out, and of those, \(55\%\) voted in favour of the amendment. Did the amendment succeed? Justify your answer.

Answer Options

A. No, it failed because the 55% approval rate was below the required 60% supermajority.

Correct Answer C. No, it failed because the turnout requirement of at least 50% was not met.
D. Yes, it succeeded because the 55% of votes cast were in favour, meeting the majority requirement.
