One difference between the amendment process of the US and the Florida Constitution is that the US Constitution requires approval by two-thirds of both houses of Congress and three-fourths of the states, while the Florida Constitution can be amended by a 60% majority vote of the people.
Florida created that difference because they wanted to make it easier for the citizens of the state to have a direct say in amending their constitution, reflecting a more direct democracy approach compared to the more complex and indirect process at the federal level.
