Abstract

initiatives and referendums, two words that extremely excite or worry people, but why? initiatives have the power to place any measure, put forth by any citizen, on a ballot to be voted on by their fellow citizens. This worries some because of the extreme power uninformed individuals can have on the government of the United States. Weaknesses and strengths of initiatives (referendums occur less because they have to be put forth by legislation, then voted on by the people), are explored in this paper, and after reviewing both, help answer the question: do initiatives and referendums garner enough support so in time they will be used at the federal level?
