This action is in accordance with Section 2 of Article XIV of the Rhode Island Constitution, which outlines the process for constitutional amendments.

The resolution is a formal mechanism to seek the electorate's approval for convening a constitutional convention. The Legislative Council has provided an explanation for the joint resolution, clarifying the intent and the question to be posed to the qualified electors. If the voters agree, this could lead to a convention where changes to the state's governing document would be considered.
