Question

In a short answer of at least two sentences, explain why the people of Georgia cannot propose legislation.

Answer 1

The people of Georgia cannot propose legislation because Georgia's amendment makes no clause for popular initiative and only allows the State legislature to propose legislation .

Explanation:

Legislative jurisdiction can be transferred to any branch of government under the framework of separation of powers by the legislature, and while citizens in Georgia actually are independent, legislative power cannot be allocated to the state.  

Because the constitution of Georgia does not provide for common proposals and only requires a request for legislation by the General Assembly

In fact, the legislation approved by the legislature cannot be contingent on future authorization or adoption by electors at the State elections in the absence of a legal provision that allows for a public referral.
