Florida is like some other states in that it is far too easy to amend the Constitution. This leads to a lot of changes to the Constitution which are the duty and domain of the legislature. For example they have a constitutional amendment that prohibits smoking in bars and one that prohibits Nets which catch Turtles accidentally. None of which has a damn thing to do with the Constitution. My highly leftist brother-in-law and his commie school teacher wife thought they were great ideas and love the idea of amending the Constitution for everything that tbey want.

As someone else pointed out in this thread direct democracy is a disaster.

In Florida, it requires a 60% vote to amend the constitution, it was 50% but a “Constitutional Amendment” was voted in that changed that to 60% a few years ago.
