The Florida Constitution

The Florida Constitution is the fundamental legal document that establishes the structure, powers, and limits of the state government. It outlines the rights of residents, sets the organization of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, and includes provisions for amendments and public participation. The constitution ensures government operates within defined rules, protects individual freedoms, and provides a framework for laws and policies. It is periodically reviewed and amended through a formal process, reflecting the state's evolving needs and values, and serves as the highest legal authority in Florida.
