This comprehensive volume examines all constitutions drafted in Florida, from the territorial era to the most recent version from 1968.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the 6 constitutional revisions implemented by the state government, chapters in this book include discussions of the West Florida Republic Constitution of 1810 and the East Florida Patriot Constitution of 1812, both created before Florida became a state, as well as the constitutions of the Seminole and Miccosukee People. Contributors show what aspects of each constitution were borrowed from existing\u003cbr\u003etraditions and what parts were influenced by circumstances of the time. Florida has the twelfth most-revised constitution in the nation, offering a useful case study both in comparison to other states and in the flexibility of state constitutions compared to the US Constitution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume presents a complete history of the drafting of constitutions and the creation of governments across people and movements in Florida. It provides background information for today's debates about whether the 1968 constitution should be revised and what the next steps are for the state in this 200-year tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Cassanello\u003c\/b\u003e, associate professor of history at the University of Central Florida, is the author of \u003ci\u003eTo Render Invisible: Jim Crow and Public Life in New South Jacksonville\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e M.C.
