The Arizona Constitution - Essay Example

It is an unfair process when amendments such as limiting the bail eligibility are proposed because they restrict the judicial system (McClory, 2010). This constitution gives more power to the people by giving them the right to propose and approve any changes to the constitution through the initiative process. This is where an amendment is suggested, and signatures are gathered to get to the voting stage where voters may consider and act on it. The legislature may also refer legislations to the voters for them to decide through a referendum process it to become a law.

Therefore, these make the citizens able to consider their collective future without depending on their representatives and the legislature (McClory, 2010). This constitution is a populist and has a participatory spirit by including the right to amend it through the initiative and referendum process. This makes it fair enough and I think the progressive framers can approve it.
