I can think of VERY few reasons for the public to vote on laws, this is why we are a Representative Republic... the public, for the most part, have no idea how the law works and cares only for how things affect them and theirs and not minorities across the nation.
Democracy = mob rule/insanity.
After rereading what I wrote, I apologize. I was incorrect. It was not what I intended, but nonetheless it was wrong.
