Discussion
Which of the following countries has adopted the method of amending the constitution by a popular vote ?
Answer: C
Constitutional amendment by popular vote is used in Switzerland.
Every amendment to the Swiss federal constitution must be approved in a mandatory referendum by a majority of the voters and of the cantons, and citizens can themselves propose amendments by popular initiative with 100,000 signatures.
In the U.K. there is no codified constitution and Parliament changes constitutional law by ordinary statute. The U.S.A. amends through Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states, and India through Parliament (with state ratification for some provisions), not by a direct popular vote.
