• B. It requires approval by the governor alone.
• C. An amendment must be passed by a two-thirds vote of each house and at the next regular election be approved by a majority of those voting in the general election.
• D. Amendments are automatically adopted after two sessions.

Answer: (C)

In Wyoming, changing the Constitution requires broad legislative support and a vote by the people. The process starts with the legislature: a proposed amendment must be approved by a two-thirds vote in both the state Senate and the House. If that high threshold is met, the proposal goes to the voters at the next regular general election, where it must be approved by a majority of those who actually vote on the measure. The governor does not decide constitutional amendments on their own, and amendments don’t become law automatically after a couple of sessions.
