Can you shorten this? One difference between the amendment process of the US and the Florida Constitution is that in Florida, citizens can propose amendments through the initiative process, whereas in the US Constitution only Congress or a national convention can propose amendments. Florida created that difference because they wanted to give more power to the citizens and allow them to have a direct role in shaping the state’s laws and policies.
