Chapter 14: Discussion
On November 6, 2018 Florida voters approved a constitutional amendment automatically restoring the right to vote to 1.4 million individuals with felony convictions in their past. The amendment restores the right to vote for people with felony convictions, except individuals convicted of murder or felony sexual offenses, once they have completed the terms of their sentence, including probation and parole. The amendment went into effect on January 8, 2019.
Do you agree with the amendment? Explain why or why not. Support your opinion with academic sources. What other civil rights should be restored or denied to former felons? Defend your answer
