What is the difference between the direct and indirect initiative, and which type or types exist in California?
What will be an ideal response?
The direct initiative (or simply, the initiative process) gives Californians the power to propose constitutional amendments and laws that fellow citizens will vote on without the legislature's involvement. The indirect initiative allows lawmakers to first consider citizen-initiated measures before they are presented to the public for a vote. Only the direct initiative exists in California at the state level. Both the direct and indirect initiative exist at the local level. There, petitioners can submit their measures along with the required number of signatures to a local governing board, such as the city council or board of supervisors, who have the option of considering it and adopting it as a local law or referring it to the voters.
