What is Understanding Direct Democracy in California about?

California allows for direct democracy through initiatives, referendums, and recalls. Citizens can directly propose laws (initiatives) through petitions, vote to repeal existing laws (referendums), or recall elected officials from office. This system was established in 1911 to give citizens lawmaking power in response to wealthy business interests dominating the state legislature. Direct democracy empowers California voters to enact policies and laws without relying solely on elected representatives.
