Decisions like this should require a 2/3 yes vote. Raise the bar higher if something this big would have a long lasting impact.

Conversely if 1/3 of the population really didn't like one then it should be repealed. I always thought Heinlein liked the thought of a state of anarchy though and I haven't tried to work out if he would induce one by his suggestions..
