The New Hampshire Constitutional Convention Amendment, also known as Question 2, was on the ballot in New Hampshire on November 2, 1948, as a constitutional convention referral. It was defeated. It proposed to ask the voters every eighth year, beginning in 1954, if they thought a constitutional convention was necessary.[1]
