How can citizens take direct action in legislation and state government?

History

In several states across the US, individuals can take direct action by using different procedures like recalls and referendums.

A recall is when citizens of a particular state want to remove an individual from political office. Several states, like Arizona and Wisconsin, will allow citizens to use this process. In order to get an elected official removed from office, a group must get a certain percentage of citizens from their state to sign a petition in favor of removing this person. If enough people sign, then there will be a general election in which all citizens vote on whether or not to remove the person from office.

A referendum, on the other hand, revolves around state legislatures making laws that must be approved by the citizens before being implemented. This makes it so that citizens have the power over certain laws in their state.

Why was the concept of Manifest Destiny so influential in nineteenth century America?
guapka [62]

<span>United States believing that it’s their right and duty to spread across the North America continent is what we call the Manifest Destiny.  This concept was so influential in the nineteenth century in America because this is the idea which states that it is their God- given right to conquer the lands in the West. It is because of this Manifest Destiny that great happenings in the History of the world took event. Fuel western settlement, Native American removal, and war with Mexico were pushed by this attitude. America was able to do this through treaties, settlements and war. In an article on the annexation of Texas which was published in the July- August 1845 edition of the United States Magazine and Democratic Review, John L. O’Sullivan, who was also the editor, introduced Manifest Destiny.  </span>
