Question

is amending Florida’s constitution more or less difficult than amending the U.S. Constitution? Explain why in your own words. thank you (10 points)

Answer 1

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

With state lawmakers also considering the idea, a political committee has filed a proposed ballot measure that could make it harder to amend the Florida Constitution.

A committee known as Keep Our Constitution Clean PC filed the proposal last week at the state Division of Elections. Under it, passage of proposed constitutional amendments would require support from two-thirds of voters, up from the current 60 percent.

The Senate Ethics and Elections Committee is scheduled Wednesday to take up a proposal (SJR 232), filed by Chairman Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, that also seeks a two-thirds threshold for approval of proposed constitutional amendments.

And last week, the House State Affairs Committee approved a measure that would ask voters to abolish the Constitution Revision Commission, which has unique powers to put proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot.
