One difference between the amendment process of the US and the Florida Constitution is that in Florida, proposed amendments must receive at least 60% voter approval to become part of the Constitution, while in the US Constitution, amendments require a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of Congress.
Florida created that difference because they wanted to ensure that proposed amendments are supported by a significant majority of voters in order to avoid frequent changes to the state constitution. This higher threshold for approval helps to safeguard against amendments being passed based on a narrow margin of support.
