Proposition 13
Proposition 13
a county ballot initiative to limit development in backcountry.
A set number of registered voters sign a petition to put a initiative on the ballot. It then goes to the state election office and they validate the voter petitions. If it passes the correct number of signed registered voters it goes to be written properly for the ballot and written for the ballot. The economic affect of the initiative is also studied and placed with the initiative in the ballot.

Allows people to put new laws on the ballot for a vote. Frankly I feel some of the things that get put on the California ballot are discriminatory or not well thought out. I vote against most of them.

There is no way to have a ballot proposition for the entire United States. Some states, such as California, permit "initiative and referendum" which allow citizens to write their own ballot propositions, but not all states do. The government of the Unites States is a "representative republic", not a democracy. Citizens do not vote directly on the issues; citizens elect representatives to act in our names. The Federal government has no provision to allow citizens to vote directly on government policies.
An initiative is a process that allows citizens to propose new laws or changes to existing ones. If enough signatures are gathered in support of the initiative, it can lead to it being placed on the ballot as a proposition. The proposition is then voted on by the general public, and if it receives a majority vote, it becomes law.
The ballot would be a referendum or initiative, and the change would be an amendment.
A ballot initiative takes a propose law directly to the voters for approval, rather than let it be argued in a legislative body. Before the propose law can be placed on the ballot, a petition to do so must be signed by a minimum number of registered voters.
In an initiative, citizens or non-government groups gather petition signatures for a proposed new law to be placed on the ballot. The citizens vote on the initiative, and if it passes, it becomes a law even without the legislature or the governor voting on it. A referendum is a citizen action to repeal a law passed by the legislature. Not all states allow initiative and referendum. California, for example, does.
