Florida's State Constitution

First, compare and contrast Florida's state constitution with the U.S. Constitution.

What is a constitution? What is its purpose?

Discuss the similarities (in the format and arrangement, structure of governmental offices, for example) and the differences (length of the documents, specificity, # of amendments, and so on) between these two documents.

When was each constitution proposed and where? When was each ratified, how, and by whom?

Next, find the processes by which Florida's Constitution can be amended. How many ways exist by which Florida's Constitution can be amended? List and describe each way.

Then, research online to find one proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution which was on the ballot in Florida in 2020. Did it pass? What percentage of votes did it get from Florida voters? Describe, what the amendment was about and what it would do or will do in our state.

Finally, provide your own informed opinion: Do most changes to our state law belong in the Florida state constitution or in our state statutes (Florida state law)? Why? What is the purpose of the state constitution, and what is the purpose of our state statutory laws?
