Question

What procedure, which is available in many states, does the passage describe?

I understand why the state passed a law raising the minimum wage, but I already had to let two employees go because I couldn’t pay them. I think the legislature raised it too far, too fast. We need to go more slowly. I collected all the signatures required to let citizen decide for themselves. On Tuesday we all be able to vote on whether to keep the law.


A. Recall
B. Initiative
C. Impeachment
D. Referéndum

Answer 1

The correct option is "D. Referéndum"

A referendum or referendum is a legal procedure by which laws or administrative acts are subject to popular vote for ratification. It is the mechanism of direct democracy by antonomasia and nowadays it also complements the regime of participatory democracy, promoting the direct intervention of the electoral body.
