Final answer:
The claim that every state uses the initiative process to pass laws is false. Initiatives allow citizens to pass laws directly, but only twenty-four states allow some form of initiative and referendum.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that 'every state in the country makes use of the initiative process to pass laws' is false. Not every state has the initiative process available to its citizens. The initiative process allows citizens to propose and pass laws, bypassing the state legislature and governor, though subject to state court review. Variations exist from state to state on how an initiative is passed, often involving a petition process and review by state officials such as the attorney general or lieutenant governor to ensure legality and constitutionality. However, as of the present, only twenty-four states allow some form of initiative and referendum.
