Question

“The power to propose the revision or amendment of any portion or portions of this constitution by initiative is reserved to the people, provided that, any such revision or amendment, except for those limiting the power of government to raise revenue, shall embrace but one subject and matter directly connected therewith.”

The quote above is from the

U.S. Constitution and extends the powers of initiative and recall to the people

Florida constitution and extends the powers of initiative and recall to the people

Florida constitution and extends the power of initiative to the people

Answer 1

U.S. Constitution and extends the power of initiative to the people

Answer 2

It is not from the US Constitution, which contains nothing on the subject of initiative -- and in fact there is no such thing as a federal initiative. You will never be asked to vote directly on a federal law. It may well be from the Florida Constitution, because many states do allow initiatives. If so, it speaks only to initiatives. The recall is the power of the people to pass around a giant petition that says they want to get rid of an elected official before his term of office expires. If enough signatures are gathered, a special ("recall") election is held, and if the official loses it, he is immediately booted from office. The passage quoted has nothing to do with this.
