Question

How is Florida legislature similar to and different from the U.S. Congress?

Answer 1

The organization and titles of the Florida Constitution differ from the U.S. Constitution. However, both create three branches of government. Here we see how each introduces the legislative branch. The U.S. legislative branch is called Congress, while in Florida it is the Florida Legislature. We use the term state legislature to describe this branch in general for any state.

Just like the U.S. Congress, the Florida legislature meets to debate and vote on bills. Both refer to the meeting schedule for the year as a "session." The dates and specifics of the schedules will differ. Both Congress and the Florida legislature have committees.

The Florida Constitution also creates the offices of the Auditor General and the Commission on Ethics. The Auditor General completes financial and performance audits, or reviews, of various state agencies and their records. The Commission on Ethics is a group of nine appointed people who serve two-year terms. They oversee and write rules for proper behavior of state officials and employees. The Commission also investigates complaints against state officials or employees.
