Supreme Court Case

t relates to the right to petition (essential for candidates and referendums) and argues that the 1838 Florida Constitution is valid, and that the Federal Government did not have the jurisdiction to force Florida to conform with the US Constitution, rather than merely being consistent with the US Constitution. The 1838 Florida Constitution is Florida's original constitution, far more protective than the 1868 Florida Constitution. Basically, the federal government attempted to steal rights away from Floridians. I'm arguing that it was an act of fraud meant to dupe the citizens out of their rights. Slavery and only white men having the vote are not consistent with the US Constitution and in such cannot be sustained in the Florida Constitution, but every that does not go against the US Constitution, but is mere more expansive (see Pruneyard v. Robins, 1980), is valid. Fraud vitiates everything, even the most solemn of documents (see US v Throckmorton, 1878).
