Answers:
Two houses (senate and house of representatives)The people (aka the citizens of Florida). This is because it says "We, the people of the State of Florida...do ordain and establish this constitution" in the preamble.Three branchesLegislative, Executive, and JudicialTo be honest, I'm not sure.

See article VIII, section 2, part (b) of the Florida Constitution. At the end, it says "Each municipal legislative body shall be elective".The list is numerous, but three functions are emergency services, jails, and libraries to name a few.

As required by state law, county government also serves unincorporated areas by providing such purely local government facilities and services as highways, police protection, building inspection, planning and zoning.
