Florida's Constitutions: The Documentary History
The following is a compilation of documents tracing the chronological development of Florida's Constitutions. It includes copies of each of Florida's six constitutions, as they existed upon ratification; each proposed amendment, whether presented by legislative resolution, revision commission, or initiative; and Supreme Court decisions affecting ballot position. The Table of Contents contains reference to the constitutional articles and sections affected by the proposed amendments as well as the disposition of each, and is intended to be used as a research tool to assist in the location of the primary sources which comprise the history of Florida's organic law. Also included, when available, are cites to contemporary analyses of the various proposals, prepared by the Public Administration Clearing Service of the University of Florida, as part of their Civic Information Series, to educate voters on the proposed changes.

Jo Dowling the Assistant Librarian of the Florida Supreme Court compiled the documents. Florida State University College of Law and the College of Law Library created the website to provide Internet access.
