Abstract

Although America is usually called a democracy, it is not a true democracy. We elect representatives to research and choose the best policies for us. However, there is a growing interest in initiatives, where the citizens vote directly for various laws. But if we can't even choose politicians we like, is the average citizen really equipped to decide on laws with far-reaching consequences? Join host June Hamersma as she interviews Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and political columnist David Broder.
