How do you think it works?

Representatives who vote on laws are called law makers. If the people are voting on laws as well then they’re law makers as well aren’t they?

And you say they’re unelected? Well they don’t need to be elected, they’re citizens in their own right.




No, people who are elected to make laws are called lawmakers. No one elected the citizens of California who are voting on the propositions.
