Why do some laws and initiatives get passed by local state and federal governments while others go to the public to be voted on?
Because some laws and initatives are so obvious that they need to be passed that they just pass the law and on other not so obvious laws and ititiatives they have the public vote on them. During the Progressive Era, three important democratic practices became part of the political scene in the United States. The referendum is the procedure by which voters get to approve or dispprove measures that have already been passed by the state legislature. It is like a "veto" for the voting public. The initiative is a procedure by which voters can propose a law or a state constitutional amendment. It is a process that allows the voting public to pass a law that they feel is necessary but the legislature has not acted upon. The recall allows voters to hold a special election to remove an elected official before their term expires. The states can determine the process by which the above three are carried out. For example, how many signatures must be on a petition, the reason for recalls, etc. MrV
