One difference between the amendment process of the US and the Florida Constitution is that in Florida, a proposed amendment must be approved by 60% of voters in order to pass, whereas the US Constitution only requires a simple majority in Congress and ratifying states. Florida created that difference because they wanted to ensure that any amendments to their state constitution have strong popular support from the electorate.
