I was mostly OK with this. The constitution is broad strokes and legislation is to define the minutia with the courts as the final arbiters.
I did feel like that one was open to potential abuse by both legislation and court cases but I have enough faith in our senior judiciary to not fuck up the interpretation and I felt the current wording was really out of date so it swung me towards a yes, just about.
It definitely could have been worded better and I think it will come in a future vote. The current wording is very 1936 like.

Absolutely, I have no problem with the intent of the proposal, just the wording was lazy and too open to abuse.
