Initiative- Give the people a voice, and the governemnt ears fall off
The initiative was created to give voters a direct voice in lawmaking. Well, it should give voters a direct voice in lawmaking. Whether it works is questionable. For example, in the whole health care debate, where many wanted a public option, we did not get a public option. Hmmm... so where exactly is this voice? Well, I don't know but it should be there. In order to perform an initiative a citizen has to collect a certain number of signatures on a petition. That sounds like a lot of work for a citizen who just wants something done.

It's interesting to take a concept as an identification. I wish more would do it. The large debate which rages on amongst historians is whether or not are able to place importance on ideas/ concepts or people. Which one gains more importance is probably as big of a historical debate as conflict vs. consensus.
