What is the term for a state-level method that gives voters a chance to approve or disapprove proposed legislation or a proposed constitutional amendment?

• A. Initiative
• B. Veto
• C. Referendum
• D. Recall

Answer: (C)

Referendum is the process that lets voters directly approve or reject a measure on the ballot, such as proposed legislation or a constitutional amendment. This means the people have the final say on whether the measure becomes law. The other terms describe different things: an initiative is when citizens push to place their own proposed law on the ballot, a veto is the governor’s power to reject legislation, and recall is a procedure to remove an elected official from office. The description in the question matches referendum because it centers on voters approving or disapproving a proposed law or amendment.
