In a referendum, citizens have the opportunity to vote directly on specific issues or proposed laws, often relating to constitutional changes or significant policy decisions. This process allows the electorate to express their preferences and influence government actions. Referendums can enhance democratic participation by giving people a direct voice in shaping legislation and governance. However, the outcomes can also be contentious and may lead to divisions within society.
The US Constitution provides for a process of submitting a direct vote of the citizens for a approval or rejection. This process is called a referendum.

Referendum
One way for citizens to vote on state or local laws is through a ballot initiative or referendum process. This allows citizens to propose new laws or approve/disapprove existing laws by collecting signatures to place the issue on the ballot for a public vote. Another method is through town hall meetings or public forums where citizens can express their opinions and provide input on proposed laws before they are enacted.
A "referendum" is a direct popular vote on a proposed public measure or actual statute. In a Democracy, normally elected representatives form a legislature/government which then passes laws for the country. In a referendum it is all the citizens of the country which vote on a law rather than the legislature.
