Florida's November Election: Proposed Constitutional Amendments Explained And Analyzed

The Proposed Constitutional Amendments in Florida's November Election In a recent conversation, a fellow conservative brought up the issue of six proposed amendments to the Florida constitution, which will be put to a vote during the November election. The proposed amendments require at least 60% of the votes cast to be approved and become part of the state's constitution, which has already been amended 144 times since its adoption 56 years ago. In response to the inquiry, it was pointed out that numerous other amendments have been proposed but defeated in the 27 election cycles since 1968, making this year's crop of proposals relatively low compared to previous years.

The U. S. Constitution, adopted 237 years ago, has undergone a total of 27 amendments, with the majority of these occurring in the first 100 years after its adoption. One of the proposed amendments, "Amendment 2.".. seeks to establish a constitutional right to hunt and fish in the state. However, critics argue that this amendment is unnecessary and may lead to legal disputes over property rights and environmental issues, "including wildlife management and the protection of endangered species." As a result, a "no" vote is recommended.

In assessing the proposed amendments... it is essential to consider their potential impact on the state's constitution and the potential for legal disputes that may arise.

One of my fellow conservatives called me the other day to ask me what I thought about something she'd discovered far down on the sample ballot for the November election. That's where she'd found six proposals to amend the state constitution. I assured her that there are indeed six amendments going before voters this fall. Each will need at least 60% of votes cast to be become part of a state constitution that has already been amended 144 times since it was adopted 56 years ago.
