Question

I need help with this because im kinda really d_mb :)

Answer 1

Answers:

1. Two houses (senate and house of representatives)
2. The people (aka the citizens of Florida). This is because it says "We, the people of the State of Florida...do ordain and establish this constitution" in the preamble.
3. Three branches
4. Legislative, Executive, and Judicial
5. To be honest, I'm not sure. But I think it's because it's easier to add amendments due to not as many people to disagree with a certain subject.
6. They must be elected. See article VIII, section 2, part (b) of the Florida Constitution. At the end, it says "Each municipal legislative body shall be elective".
7. The list is numerous, but three functions are emergency services, jails, and libraries to name a few. Some of these services could be provided by a city/municipality depending on if the city is large enough. Usually, the rule of thumb though is that a smaller rural town will be more dependent on county services.
8. County Seat. For example, the seat of Hillsborough county is the city of Tampa. This is where county supervisors meet to set up legislation, tax code, etc for Hillsborough county. And this is where the county jail would likely be located as well for instance.

As you can see, the Florida Constitution is similar to the United States Constitution in terms of structure (eg: having 3 branches and 2 legislative houses).

Answer 2

1. 160 houses : Article III, Section 1 of the Florida Constitution, adopted in 1968, defines the role of the legislature and how it is to be constituted.[3] The legislature is composed of 160 state legislators (120 in the House and 40 in the Senate).

2. The people.

3. Three branches.

4. The legislative branch, Executive branch and the Judicial branch.

5. The Florida Constitution begins with a Declaration of Rights, which is similar to the U.S. Bill of Rights. The Florida Declaration of Rights, however, is much longer than the federal version, as it has 27 sections.

6.

7. As an agent of the state, the county government serves the entire county in these ways: (1) through elected officials, it administers and enforces state laws, collects taxes, assesses property, records public documents, conducts elections, issues licenses; (2) through appointed boards and officials, it provides parks, libraries, sewers, emergency management, public assistance, and hospitals. As required by state law, county government also serves unincorporated areas by providing such purely local government facilities and services as highways, police protection, building inspection, planning and zoning. Elected county officials oversee most of these services. A city or village may contract with the county to receive a service.

8. County seat.
