One difference between the amendment process of the US and the Florida Constitution is that amendments to the Florida Constitution can be proposed either by the state legislature or by citizen initiatives, while amendments to the US Constitution can only be proposed by Congress or by a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the states.
Florida created that difference because it aims to provide a more direct pathway for citizens to influence their government and to address local issues more effectively, reflecting the state's commitment to democratic participation and responsiveness to the needs of its residents.
