The Framers and Direct Democracy

I think that there is to much direct democracy that went far beyond what the framers intended. There are 24 U.S. states with constitutionally-defined, citizen-initiated, direct democracy governance components and for the most part simple majority is needed only. The framers did not want the people to enforce their will on the minorities. Some say that is occurring and some not. That’s why prop eight is in court right now to decide if it is going against the will of a minority. I think the people have too much power and direct democracy is TOO direct. The citizens have a lot of power they have the statute law initiative which is a citizen-initiated, petition process of "proposed statute law," which, if successful, results in law being written directly into the state. Statute law referendum is a citizen-initiated, petition process of the "proposed veto of all or part of a legislature-made law," which, if successful, repeals the standing law. Basically with these two powers the people can make laws and break laws at their own will. The people can vote someone into office and when they don’t like what that person they can recall him out. Some proposals need a super-majority and others need a simple-majority. I think everything should either be simple-majority or super-majority. The framers did not intend for the people to rule or as they called it a “mob” rule. All throughout civilization the leaders did not want “mob” rule. In Classical Rome they believed the people were emotional and uneducated waverd on feelings day by day. The people do not know what they truly want which is why the framers made the constitution how they did. There needs to be a middle ground between the people and how they want to vote. It can not be just a straight shoot towards it.
