A 75% majority would have to vote for it. That figure and language are just off the cuff, of course. You’d prefer something more Founder-ish, like “provided three-fourths of the propertied citizens concur” type verbiage? Fine by me.

No need to get defensive. You said "a majority vote of 75% in support", which sounds like a majority of three-fourths of the people. Now I know you simply meant three-fourths support.
