A device that allows groups to propose laws that the public will vote on in the next general election ballot, thereby bypassing elected officials, is a(n) Initiative.

<h3>What is the Ballot Initiative?</h3>

The ballot initiative, a form of direct democracy, is the process through which citizens exercise the power to place measures otherwise considered by state legislatures or local governments on statewide and local ballots for a public vote. Successful ballot initiatives can create, change or repeal state and local laws, or amend state constitutions and local charters. Ballot initiatives can also be used simply to force state or local legislative bodies to consider the subject of the initiative.

The first documented approval for the use of the ballot initiative process by a state legislature appeared in the first constitution of Georgia, ratified in 1777.

liberstina [14]

The iron law of oligarchy which was introduced by Robert Michels, a German sociologist, in his 1911 book entitled Political Parties. This is a political theory that claims that oligarchy will inevitably emerge within an organization which is democratic as a part of its the ‘tactical and technical necessities’. Sooner or later the ‘iron law” will eventually develop within a democratic organization. He was able to observe that power within an organization will always be delegated to individuals within that group, elected or posted, etc. This happens since no large and complex organization can function properly as a direct democracy. He also introduced the idea that eventually every organization will be run by a “leadership class” in the form of paid administrators, executives, spokespersons, political strategists, organizers, for the organization.
