This is called a voter "referendum."
In some states in the US (but not all), a referendum can be called by voter initiative, i.e., by voters signing petitions to place a matter on the ballot. In some states, the legislature can place matters on the ballot if they want the people to decide the issue directly.

Some delegates did not trust the citizens judgement, Roger SHerman stated, citizens "will never be sufficiently informed", implying that citizens are ignorant towards politics.
Direct democracy allows citizens to make policy decisions through a majority vote. In contrast, representative democracies allow citizens to elect representatives to make policy decisions for them.
This varies based on the constitution of the country. Most Republics have a direct election system, sometimes with a run-off with the top 2 candidates. The US does not have a direct election system.
Direct and representative democracy
Direct Democracy, as practiced in Ancient Athens, allowed citizens to make political decisions.
