US History – 1865 to Present
A referendum is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is invited to vote on a particular proposal and can result in the adoption of new laws or policies. This form of direct democracy allows citizens to decide on important issues, bypassing traditional legislative processes. The use of referendums gained popularity during the era of progressive political reforms as a means for citizens to have a direct say in governance and to address issues such as suffrage, labor rights, and social reforms.
