Throughout the years, Florida voters have repeatedly come together to add to the state constitution. Policies that have gone through this process include: voter rights restoration for returning citizens, term limits for politicians, and a $15 minimum wage. Amending the state constitution provides a direct avenue for Floridians to have their voice heard and give them the power to speak for themselves.
