I would only answer "yes" to this if I knew what one thing they wished to amend. And then only if they were legally compelled to change only that one thing.

Otherwise,I don't trust them not to do something bad.

Any amendment requires a 2/3rds popular vote. Not sure what the concern is.

In the NH constitution or the US constitution?

Based on some quick googling, there are two ways to amend the NH constitution - the first, by convention, requires a vote by delegates. It doesn't mention if a super-majority is required. This seems to be the method proposed on the ballot.

The second (legislatively) requires a 60% vote by legislators, and then 2/3 popular vote.

Both require a supermajority paragraph 5 in you link is ambiguous about it but applies to both methods. This link more explicitly says both methods of amending require a supermajority of voters.

Ok, your link makes it more clear.
