The Supreme Court, of the corporate United states, hands down Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph v. Oregon, declaring that the initiative and proposition processes, in which voters enact statutes at the ballot box, thus circumventing the legislature and governor, does not violate the principles of “Separation of Powers” and a “republican form of government.”
NOTE: Direct legislative power in the hands of the voters is very dangerous. Initiatives and propositions cannot be either lawfully or practically amended or repealed except by a vote of WE THE PEOPLE.
