Political Reforms The Progressives

What did Progressives believe about the political process? Solve the problems of democracy with more democracy. "The scope of a modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old "laissez faire" school of political writers, and this widening has met popular approval." 71 – President William Howard Taft, inaugural address, 4 March

Two Types of Democracy Direct Representative

Initiative Direct Initiative: A direct initiative is the standard form of this process. Interested parties prepare the initiative and collect the necessary signatures. If they are successful, the issue is placed on the ballot. If approved by the voters, the measure becomes law. Indirect Initiative: Indirect initiatives (mandated in some localities) require that measures receiving a sufficient number of valid petition signatures are then submitted to the legislature for action. Usually, if the legislature fails to pass the proposed legislation, it is submitted to the electorate for final disposition; however, in other areas, the proposal dies if defeated in the legislature.

Referendum Legislative Popular

Initiative and Popular Referendum Popular Referendum Initiative -Constitutional Amendments Only Neither method

E L E C T I O N P R E V I E W Voters are set to decide 34 state-level ballot propositions in 9 states in October and November Among the more interesting contests to watch are a referendum in Ohio on collective bargaining by public employees, an initiative proposing higher income and property taxes in Colorado, and an initiative in Ohio declaring that the state’s residents cannot be forced to participate President Obama’s health care system.

Recall Used to remove an elected official from office Varies from state to state
