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.

The correct answer is - <span>has absolute power to treat family members as he chooses.
He could behave in an authoritative/authoritarian way with his family, but he is not that type of a person, and not that type of a father. Instead, he believes that all of his family members should be treated with respect they deserve, which is what he does in his family, and what makes his family relationships strong.
