In a rigid constitution, amendments typically require:

  1. A simple majority vote in the legislature
  2. Approval by a popular referendum
  3. Consent of the executive branch
  4. A special procedure beyond normal legislative process ✓

Special procedures may include two-thirds majority votes or approval by state legislatures.

This protects the constitution from being changed easily by temporary political majorities.
