Florida Constitution

The Nevada constitution is the document that governs the citizens of the state of Nevada. In general, state constitutions are usually much longer than the United States constitution and Nevada’s constitution, which was sanctioned in 1864, is one of the state constitutions that fall into that category. When comparing the two, Nevada’s constitution is just short of being twice the length of the United States constitution, but Nevada is still shorter than the constitution of twenty-six other states. The reason Nevada’s constitution has such length is because of the in-depth parts it contains, which are protracted from the provisions of the United States constitution. The reason for Nevada’s constitution having such depth is because of the

This case study will assess the government of Florida, a state government. It will touch on several important issues such as providing a general overview of how the government functions and what resources it provides, as well as some current issues the State of Florida is facing in government administration. Because the State of Florida is a state government, it tends to “resemble the national government in composition and organization of their executive branch agencies” (Milakovich, 2013, p. 21).

Basically, the constitution is a set of rules for the government so they don’t acquire too much power. In a state, where distrust of the Government has always been present, it makes sense that the constitution wants to restrict

The United States Constitution established the nation’s national government and fundamental laws as well as implemented basic rights for all citizens. On September 17,1787, the United States Constitution was created by delegates in the Philadelphia, which allows each branch to uphold different work ethics and to ensure that each branch has equal authority. A written constitution clearly defines the limitation that each government, branches, and citizens can obtain in order to have a democracy world rather than a dictatorship. United States Constitution allows residents to understand their rights and to familiarize themselves with their state and federal government’s laws. It is important to understand that the written constitution does not

Constitutions are a necessary tool in keeping a Nation running in a smooth manner. One is also necessary in keeping the components, which are states, running in an ordered way. The constitution of Texas has a long historical trail from 1827 to 1876 and there are many events that occurred during this time period. The current Texas constitution has many strengths and weaknesses and there have been revisions made to this document. This document limits the way government can be involved in certain problems that arise in Texas. The Texas constitution is a document with positives and negatives but it is definitely a necessity.

The State of Florida takes pride in pioneering the nation in Florida's Government-in-the-Sunshine Law, enacted in 1967, which establishes a basic right of access to most meetings of boards, commissions, and other governing bodies of state and local governmental agencies or authorities ((Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine).

From all the constitutions that Texas has had throughout the years, the one that has stood out from the rest it would be the 1876 version, which is the one Texas still uses in this current point of time. All throughout history we have had 7 constitutions in Texas all through the time of 1836-1876. So, with all these different versions of the constitution of Texas the real question is where did Texas get the foundation for its constitution? The answer is from the U.S constitution, which leads to the purpose of this essay. We will be discussing the similarities and differences, the historical reasons for the restrictive nature of the Texas Constitution, limiting state government, details and how the bill of rights for both Texas and U.S protects

A Constitution, to contain an accurate detail of all the subdivisions of which its great powers will admit, and of all the means by which they may be carried into execution, would partake of the prolixity of a legal code, and could scarcely be embraced by the human mind. It would probably never be understood by the public. Its nature, therefore, requires that only its great outlines should be marked, its important objects designated, and the minor ingredients which compose those objects be deduced from the nature of the objects themselves. (McCulloch V. Maryland)

The current constitution was drafted during a convention of 90 conservative delegates. A great sum of these delegates believed in the philosophy of the Grange (an organization of farmers). They did not want the opportunity of oppression by the government. This fear of oppression had a great influence on the features included into the state constitution final document.

The word constitution means fundamental law, law determining the fundamental political principles of a government. The U.S Constitution is the fundamental law for the United States, which means the Texas Constitution the fundamental law for the state of Texas. Most constitutions for the states are back up by the U.S Constitution, which means the two constitutions have similarities and differences. First, Texas constitution was written in 1827 and was rewritten six times until the Texas constitution of 1876 was passed down. There are many similarities and differences when comparing and contrasting the constitutions of Texas and New York constitutions.

The legal framework of a government, which establishes its power and authority as well as the limits on that power is known as Constitution. The Texas Constitution is a legal structure within which government works in Texas as the US Constitution is the legal structure for our national government. Reasonably, even more than US Constitution, the Texas Constitution has an immediate and vast impact on the everyday lives of Texans. The final constitution of Texas was written in 1876 and, in 1875 a constitutional convention was called. The current constitution of the Texas is among the longest of the state constitution in the United States. The Texas constitution performs many important tasks. Although there are rights guaranteed to Texan in Texas constitution that go far beyond those of US constitution addressing issues related to Texans privates lives, there are some weakness that I would like to change if I were given the task of rewrite the Texas Constitution.

The United States Constitution of 1787 was drafted at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, which addressed the problems of The Articles of Confederation. The U.S Constitution of 1787 was a document that was used to establish the organization, function, and the power of the government which later replaced The Articles of Confederation. The U.S Constitution suggested that the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land and that it was designed to centralize and increase the government power. On the other hand, Texas Constitution was ratified in 1876, demonstrating a decentralized in the government power.

The Constitution of the State of Texas is the document representing the structure and function of the Texas government. The current Constitution took effect on February 15, 1876 and is the sixth Constitution in the history of Texas. When first constructed, the Texas Constitution was a poorly organized document that did not explain clearly the responsibility for government actions. Since its conception (through June 2011), there have been 646 proposed amendments and 476 adopted amendments added to this document. The Texas Constitution is also highly restrictive; it only grants enumerated powers to the State of Texas and does not allow for implied powers. The constant change to this Constitution has added to its poor organized condition that is extremely difficult to understand, even by the courts.

The world has always been governed by a set of rules. Without rules people would take matter into their own hands all the time on any occasion. The United States has its own constitution for our country. Certain things affect citizens of each state like basic programs and services therefore; states are accountable for implementing their own constitution under the U.S Constitution. Though the meaning of the word, constitution is the same across the board, the national government and state have different guidelines. The Texas constitution has an extensive history concerning the procedural aspects into adding an amendment, the numerous attempts to replacing the original constitution and how the Texas constitution is designed to specify every rule

The current Texas constitution was being looked at by traditional Democrats to be constitutionally revised, or to make changes and improve the document, in 1872 back when the Democrats took back hold of legislation. This idea was passed in the Texas Senate but not in the house. Therefore no changes were to be made in the constitution with all of its original features intact. The constitution today is much like the original made in 1876 besides 467 amendments being brought in by the middle of 2011 as well as some slight changes in the executive articles. The constitution contains a preamble as well as sixteen articles that also have subsections to them. To list a few of these articles would be the Bill of Rights, the Powers of Government, the Legislative Department, Executive Department, and the Judicial Department.
