Answer:The correct answer is that if you went door-to-door with a petition trying to get enough signatures for a proposal to be voted on by citizens, you would be engaging in initiative.
Explanation:
The popular initiative, also known as the citizens' initiative, is a mechanism of semi-direct democracy; it is about the possibility protected by the Constitution, that people can present initiatives of law, without being popular representatives in their respective congresses; These law initiatives must be guaranteed by a number of signatures, so that they can be taken into account by their respective legislative chamber. These initiatives can be about public issues, such as a reform of a statute or a law, or even a constitutional amendment.
The initiative can be direct or indirect. If it is direct, the presentation of the initiative leads to a referendum to approve or reject it. In the case of indirect initiatives, the petition is taken into consideration by the Congress, which decides whether or not to call the corresponding referendum.
