Answer: Influence legislation and recall officials

Step-by-step explanation:

Initiative allows Arizona citizens to propose new laws for the state. A citizen can do this by coming up with a petition and if they get enough signatures, the authorities can either enact the law or refer it to voters in a special election.

Referendum allows Arizonans to be able to repeal a law or at least force a reconsideration of it while Recall allows them to be able to demand that an elected official be removed from office. These three powers ensure that Arizonans can decide what goes on in their state as well as hold their leaders responsible.
