Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether the right to petition, assemble and speak freely on governmentowned property held open to the public exists when the publicly held land is contracted out to an association for the benefit of the citizens, or if such land loses its public identity entirely becoming private property? Whether the right to petition, assemble and speak freely on governmentowned property held open to the public exists when property is contracted out for the benefit of the citizens under the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America of if the contract between the government and private entity nullifies a citizen’s First Amendment rights? Whether the right to petition, assemble and speak freely on governmentowned property held open to the public exists when property is contracted out, leased or granted for the benefit of the citizens, and if so is that right more expansive under the Florida’s Constitution than the U.S. Constitution? Did the government have the right to ignore or dispose of the Constitution of the State of Florida, 1838, considering the precise wording of Section 27 of Articie 1, which states, “That to guard against transgressions upon the rights of the people, we declare that every thing in this article is excepted out of the general powers of the government, and shall forever remain inviolate; and that all laws contrary thereto, or to the following shall be void.” Whether the 1838 Florida Constitution is still valid and in effect with the exception of aspects that are not consistent with the Federal Constitution? i LIST OF ALL
