What do they deal with? One relates to marriage equality.

The people's Constitutional Convention did not decide observations on priority for referendums. It made recommendations on elements that should be considered for referendums.

One relates to marriage equality and the other relates to the presidential issue. They both came from the work of the Constitutional Convention.
