Rights and Responsibilities of Florida Citizens

The Florida Constitution guarantees a number of rights to its citizens, including the right to:

  • Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
  • Freedom of speech, religion, and assembly
  • The right to bear arms
  • The right to vote

Amending the Florida Constitution

The Florida Constitution can be amended by a vote of the people. To amend the constitution, a proposed amendment must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the Florida Legislature and then by a majority vote of the people. Amendments can also be proposed by a citizens' initiative, which requires the collection of signatures from 15% of the registered voters in the state.

The Constitution of the State of Florida is a living document that has been amended many times over the years. The constitution is the foundation of the state government and it guarantees the rights and responsibilities of Florida citizens.
