Answer 1

One difference between the amendment process of the US and the Florida Constitution is the requirement for a 60% supermajority vote in Florida, while the US Constitution only requires a simple majority. Florida created that difference because they wanted to ensure that amendments to their state constitution have strong support from the majority of voters, making it harder to change.
