Public Opion and a Republic

…

…direct democracy is the ballot initiative, and the referendum. This form of democracy should be a part of every state. With the initiative and referendum, the people who are abreast of the latest issues can inform the rest of the electorate. By becoming involved in an initiative or referendum issue people become more knowledgeable about the current issues of the day and governmental procedure. In the end this will only prove to strengthen our society.
