State laws, yes. Central gov. no
The idea for central gov (the 3 branches of government that are in DC) is that the people vote for whom they think represents their ideals and that person who the population voted into office will then vote on laws that are congruent with their home states ideology.
As for states it goes from the house>senate>governor>voting ballot
This of course is American democracy
If you were looking for a more broad answer about democracy as an ideology Yes citizens vote on virtually everything before it happens as in a democracy it is the citizens that control/"own" the government.
