The sad and dispiriting story of how the Florida Constitution Revision Commission tried to game the amendment process with bungled amendments is told in this well-written column by John Romano, Some of These Florida Amendments Aren't Worth Your Time (Tampa Bay Times Online, posted October 18, 2018). The title tells the tale especially about the bundled bungled amendments proposed by the CRC.
Particular insight into the facts behind the "Amendment 8" debacle (Amendment 8 was proposed by the CRC and taken off the ballot by the Supreme Court of Florida because it was too misleading) is in this excellent reporting by Jim Saunders, Supreme Court Details Clash Over Education Ballot Measure (WNDB FM 93.5 AM 1150, NewsDayontaBeach.com, posted October 18, 2018).
