What is an initiative?

  1. A process to impeach the governor

  2. A process allowing the judiciary to modify laws

  3. A process enabling citizens to bypass their state legislature to propose statutes

  4. A way for elected officials to propose new laws

The correct answer is: A process enabling citizens to bypass their state legislature to propose statutes

An initiative is a process that allows citizens to directly propose and vote on new laws or changes to existing laws, bypassing the state legislature. This means that instead of waiting for elected officials to propose new laws, citizens can take an active role in the lawmaking process by gathering signatures and submitting a proposed statute to be voted on by the public. Options A and B are incorrect because they refer to specific actions within government (impeachment and judicial modifications) rather than a process available to citizens. Option D is incorrect because it only addresses elected officials proposing laws, not citizens.
