Constitution of Florida
Florida's first constitution as a U.S. territory was written and implemented in 1838. On March 3, 1845, Florida was granted admission into the Union as the 27th state. The current Constitution of Florida was ratified on November 5, 1968, and has been modified by initiative and referendum several times since.
Constitution of Florida
This constitution stated that one seat in the House of Representatives and one in the Senate were allocated to the Seminole Indians, which had to be filled by a member of their tribe "and in no case by a white man." Their positions were never filled, and this provision was not carried over into subsequent constitutions.
