Book Overview

By The People: Arguments And Authorities For Direct Legislation Or The Initiative And The Referendum is a book written by Eltweed Pomeroy and published in 1900. The book is a collection of arguments and authorities in favor of direct legislation, specifically the initiative and referendum. Pomeroy argues that direct legislation is a necessary tool for citizens to exercise their democratic rights and to hold their elected officials accountable. He provides historical examples of direct legislation being used successfully in Switzerland and the United States, and argues that it is a more effective way to address social and political issues than relying solely on representative government.
