A proposed amendment to the United States Constitution:
"Whereas a three-fourths majority of States (Legislatures or Conventions) are required to amend the United States Constitution, and by inference a more than one-fourth minority of States may block such an amendment,
So shall a greater than one-fourth minority of States (Legislatures or Conventions), who support an amendment preventing a change to the United States Constitution, have such an amendment be passed as binding upon the United States Constitution."
Such an amendment, a "one-fourth +1 amendment," will clarify the limits of government power beyond what is set forth in the United States Constitution, and demarcate which "three-fourths amendment" would be required to allow government the use of said powers.
In truth, the Bill of Rights ought to have been of this "one-fourth + 1" nature. That is, it should have only required a slightly greater than one-fourth minority of population to maintain the access to the rights therein. As it is now, when those rights are infringed on, it has now been established that we in fact need a three-fourths majority of the population to defend those infringements.
Addendum:
Another way to word or structure this amendment would be that 1/4th + 1 states could vote to overturn any congressional law as being unconstitutional. This would be a more "re-active" approach, whereas the former would be more "pro-active."
