Reality Check: Amendment 71

This November, Colorado voters will decide 10 statewide ballot measures.

More than half of them involve changes to our state constitution, including a measure that would make it harder to change the constitution in the future.

Colorado's constitution has more than 150 amendments, some of them conflicting and even unconstitutional now.

The U.S. constitution has just 27 amendments.

Proponents of Amendment 71 say it's time to raise the bar when it comes to how difficult it is to amend the Colorado constitution.
